Hi all, I have been dealing for a long while with the nfs message: nfs: server 192.168.0.1 not responding, still trying At last I found the reason why. It was due to an ipchain command in the firewall that is: ipchains -A output -f -i $LOCAL_INTERFACE_1 -j DENY $LOCAL_INTERFACE_1 here is eth1 this rule denies fragmented packets to be sent. As many packets are fragmented it does not work!! A lot of sweat for something very simple ... as usual Thanks for the concern of those who helped me. Cheers Jacques -- Dr. Jacques B.
