I have done that. At least I think I have done so. The page is under
the Basic tab and the section is Network Settings. At the bottom of the
page it says "Add DHCP Reservations." It even has a feature where it
will look at the ethernet device on the computer you are accessing it
from and pop its MAC address in. I set up the two computers each with
their current IP adddresses and even rebooted to be sure they were
getting the same IP address from the router.

But when I try to mount the desktop's partition on the laptop I still
get:

jjj at Devil7:~$ sudo mount -t nfs
192.168.0.148:/media/md3 /media/Devil6_md3/ mount.nfs: access denied by
server while mounting 192.168.0.148:/media/md3

It seems to me that it ought to be popping up a request for my username
and password on the desktop before allowing me to mount its partitions
on the laptop. Or maybe I can specify my username and password for the
desktop when issuing the mount command on the laptop. I can't find any
instructions on this in man mount.
