I have 2 machines under FC5. I'm trying to configure NFS (Network File System) between these 2 machines (client=pc006, server=pc005).

You've mentioned adding to your hosts file, but have you tried adding both machine names to your hosts files, on both PCs?
I've not tried using machine names with numbers in them. I wonder if there's an issue related to that?
