Unable to Mount NFS Share from Command Line, but ok in Dolphin

[dskilton]

I'm trying to mount an NFS share on my internal network.
The share comes up as //192.168.1.34/c/documents and I can navigate to it in Dolphin, copy files in and out. Screenshot attached.
viper.hoffmancove.com is the fully qualified DNS name for the NAS box and NSLookup returns the correct IP address.

However, I'd like to permanently mount the share so that I can eventually setup regular backups to it and transfer files between my Windows clients and Linux objects. The server hardware is a Very old Netgear Ready NAS
I created the local mount folder:
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/documents
Then I attempted a mount to the share:
sudo mount viper.hoffmancove.com/c/documents /mnt/documents

It returns the following error:
mount: /mnt/documents: special device viper.hoffmancove.com/c/documents does not exist.
I re-tried using
sudo mount 192.168.1.34/c/documents /mnt/documents
However, I still get the same error.

You should separate server and path with a colon( : ) for the mount command (you can also specify the fstype, although I'm not sure it's strictly necessary):
sudo mount -t nfs192.168.1.34:/c/documents /mnt/documents
