Anyone care to venture a guess:
I'm trying to network 2 Linux machines; 1 debian (potato r7), 1 red hat
(7.1). Everything seems to be working on the server side( I have all 5
nfs daemons running, exports file seems to be correct, network hardware
seems to work, I can ping each machine from the other, exportfs -a running)
when I boot the red hat client host, it used to complain at boot and when
issuing mount comands
mount: RPC: unable to receive: errno = connection refused
One of the directories I was trying to mount was the Windows partition on
the server. I have since eliminated this directory and added several
others in the exports file. Now I get the following error message at
boot: on the client host
mount: RPC: unable to send; errno = network is unreachable
While issuing mount commands I now get no mount errors I do get timed
out. AGAIN!, I can ping the machines. Can anyone point me in the right
direction
