newbie network set-up problem
Sorry to bother BUT . . .
Doesn't anyone know what this error message means:
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
I am trying to get my first home network configured. I have a debian
machine set-up a server and a red hat as client (sorry, just trying to get
experience with the various distributions). I have the debian server
configured just like in the book and I get the above err-msg. It's funny
because the debian machine, once set up automatically configures on
boot. The Red Hat box needs to be done by hand each time (ifconfig for the
NIC etc). I also set up both machines as servers and am cross mounting
just to see if the problem is machine or distribution specific. Err-msg
both ways.
CHECKLIST
/etc/hosts filedone
NIC configured
Module loaded (lsmod)
IP address assigned (ifconfig)
Checked with (ifconfig -a)
Exports file done
nfs scriptstarted
rpcinfo -p checked
exportfs -a done
mount -o rw,bg,intr,soft Server:/directory /client/mount/point
I also tried to mount at boot with the fstab file. BTW I get the same
err-msg at boot. Each machine can ping the other. Does anyone know if the
error is on the server or client side???
