Hello all, I've been fighting with NFS for several months (off and on) and still run into a screwball problem. I can only connect (or mount, if you will) one way. Machine 1 (boss) will not connect to machine 2 (darkstar) to mount the exported directory. I can ping, telnet and FTP to darkstar anytime I want with no prob's. Darkstar, on the other hand mounts the exported directory just fine. The message I get is connection refused both during boot and during a netfs restart. Civileme was kind enough to send a step-by-step instruction sheet and I have followed it faithfully in order to get where I'm at at this time.. It is most likely something I have overlooked causing my problem as I have had the same problem with several distro's. The one exception was Corel 1.0 set up as a linux to linux SAMBA network, worked flawlessly.. I installed LM 7.1b3 on both machines, went through the whole process of setting up the domain, IP addresses, exported directories, hosts, and resolve.conf. I have compared the settings on both machines - identical except for IP addresses and hostnames. I'm goin' nutz trying to figure this out, anybody have a suggestion? Oh, for what it's worth, I (don't kill me to death) run both machines as root. Neither machine has any security concerns as they are test-bench machines.
