-Hi, and thanks to Jim and David for suggestions In the meantime I have installed K12ltsp on a server in our testroom at work. Default installation, same procedure as I have tried at home. The server at work: HP P2 500, 128Mb, Realtek 8139 - and client: IBM P2 amd 500, 128 Mb, realtek 8139...... and it worked out fine!! A nice succes.....but back to my problems. By the way, it is remarkable, that problems allways take up more space than success! Strange, that identical installations gives different results
Jim suggested looking at iptables,ipchains and rpcinfo: My iptables and ipchains: [root@server root]# ipchains -L Chain input (policy ACCEPT): target prot opt source destination ports ACCEPT udp ------ ns3.tele.dk anywhere domain -> 1025:65535 ACCEPT udp ------ ns3.inet.tele.dk anywhere domain -> 1025:65535 ACCEPT tcp -y---- anywhere anywhere any ->ssh ACCEPT udp ------ anywhere anywhere bootps:bootpc -> bootps:bootpc ACCEPT udp ------ anywhere anywhere bootps:bootpc -> bootps:bootpc ACCEPT all ------ anywhere anywhere n/a ACCEPT all ------ anywhere anywhere n/a REJECT tcp -y---- anywhere anywhere any -> 0:1023 REJECT tcp -y---- anywhere anywhere any -> nfs REJECT udp ------ anywhere anywhere any -> 0:1023 REJECT udp ------ anywhere anywhere any -> nfs REJECT tcp -y---- anywhere anywhere any -> x11:6009 REJECT tcp -y---- anywhere anywhere any -> xfs Chain forward (policy ACCEPT): target prot opt source destination ports MASQ all ------ 192.168.0.0/24 anywhere n/a Chain output (policy ACCEPT): [root@server root]# [root@server root]# iptables -L /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: init_module: Device or resource busy Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod ip_tables failed iptables v1.2.4: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who?

You should see either "refused mount request from ...." or "authenticated mount request from ....". The result: [root@server root]# grep rpc.mountd /var/log/messages Apr 21 09:40:41 server nfs: rpc.mountd startup succeeded [root@server root]# At home I have tried two other clients: Intel Celeron 850, 256 Mb realtek 8139 and 1000 Athlon, 768 Mb, realtek 8139. Still hangs at "Mounting..... I have tried changing the graphics card in the server, and tried installing without the firewall. Still the same problem What is wrong? Could it be something related to the specific hardware in my server? Jørgen _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
