The problem is that my UID on the server is 500,

Either up the server to UID:1000
or the laptop down to UID:500


Is there some simple way of overcoming this?


No, been there done that.



There actually is a way. If you are using NFSv4 you can set it up so that you use idmapd to translate the UID/GID's properly. NFSv4 should use a name@dns for the user and group information on the wire. idmapd is a service on each end that translates these pairs into uid and gid numbers. You can look into setting up the idmapd mapping and on your end say that uid 1000 maps to the same username that uid 500 maps to on the other side.
