No, it is identified by name. This works just fine on another machine here.

I put in 192.168.3.0/24 and it mounted. I did not expect this.

The ip correctly resolves on the server:

[eyal at e7a ~]$ host e4.eyal.emu.id.au
e4.eyal.emu.id.au has address 192.168.3.4

[eyal at e7a ~]$ host 192.168.3.4
4.3.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer e4.eyal.emu.id.au.

There must be away to not use the ip in /etc/exports though?

Left is at the default install state.
