Need help with NFS file sharing

I have a Dell desktop configured as NFS server, and three notebooks configured
as NFS client. All computers were running Mandrake 9 and NFS and file
sharing in both directions worked well, but I now want to change to SuSE 9
and have installed it on two of the notebooks. NFS works with all
computers but I cannot copy a file from a SuSE notebook to the server,
only server to notebook. I get "access deniged" from the server. I know I
get to the server because if I try to copy a file that exists I get the
message that the file exists but if I select to overrite I get the access
deniged message. Everything is configured the same on the MDK notebook and
the SuSE notebooks but only the MDK notebook can copy from the notebook to
the server. Any help will be appreciated.

Are the user and group ID numbers the same on Mandrake and SuSE? Can
you write to a file if the file and directory have 777 permission?
