NFS and name of machine

[AlilouLinux]

Yes, but when I change the address to its name, like this:
     pc005:/home/rep-export    /home/rep-import    nfs    defaults    0 0
it gives me an error: mount to NFS server "pc005" failled
!!!

    Hi evrybody,
    I have 2 machines under FC5. I'm trying to configure NFS (Network File 
System) between these 2 machines (client=pc006, server=pc005).
    So, I have added this in /etc/fstab and in /etc/exports:
    /etc/fstab:
    #pc005:/home/rep-export    /home/rep-import    nfs    defaults    0 0
    192.168.1.5:/home/rep-export    /home/rep-import    nfs    defaults    0 
0

    /etc/exports:
    /home/rep-export    *(rw,no_root_squash)

    ==> When I use in the client the "IP address" of the server, it works 
very fine, but when I put the "name" of the server at the place of this IP 
address it generate this error:
        mount -a
        mount to NFS server "pc005" failled

    There is no error is added to the /var/log/messages file.
    Apparently, the problem is that my PC does'nt recognize the name of the 
server (pc005). (but ping pc005 works fine!).
    I have added in /etc/hosts this line:
     192.168.1.5   pc005
    but the problem persists.

    Do you know what must I do
    to resolve this problem.


    Thnx.
    Lil
