Check 'showmount -e' on server - you'll see active exports and your
'/cdrom' should be between them. If it's not - check /etc/exports
(i think you should add (ro) to the cdrom export - but i'm not sure) and
reload portmap and nfsd (i don't know why but sometimes reloading only
nfsd didn't work).
But this is probably OK - so check logs on server - there you should
find the answer (look for mountd and nfsd).
It's also possible that you put something in /etc/hosts.allow or
hosts.deny that refuses mounting - take a look at these files. And as i
remember - rules of access for portmap have to be given with IP-adresses -
not domain names. Eg.
/etc/hosts.allow
This will not work
---------------------------------
portmap: host.domain : ALLOW
ALL:ALL:DENY
---------------------------------
and this should be OK.
---------------------------------
portmap: 192.168.1.1 : ALLOW
ALL:ALL:DENY
---------------------------------
I hope it'll help.
