Re: need help with NFS setup
* Paul E. Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount /cmn mount: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive What does this mean? And how do I fix it? First, look into the nfs howto, you'll find it by searching for 'nfs' and 'howto' on the web. Then here is a few things to consider: Do you have firewall (iptables, ipchain, etc) between the computers? Is portmap running? (Try: 'ps aux | grep portmap' on both computers.) Try to mount an nfs partition locally. -- Jon Haugsand, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.norges-bank.no -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: need help with NFS setup SOLVED
Thanks to all. It turned out that I had done all the nfs stuff correctly, but I had selected the wrong driver for my rtl8139 card. I learned this when I thought to try to ping the new server from my test box. I should write myself an Avoid Dumb Mistakes HOWTO. The Debian install program said that the driver I chose installed OK. Turns out rtl8139-scyld doesn't really work for me, but 8139too does.

need help with NFS setup
I am attempting to setup a replacement for a server that I have had running for a couple of years. Eventually, the replacement will have wonderful new features, but for now I am haveing trouble merely getting a minimal NFS working. The old system was potato, the new is woody. I have a client host that is woody and works with the old potato server. All software is current debian packages. I copy exports, hosts.allow, and hosts.deny from the old server to the new, and restart the daemons. Then I attempt to mount newserver:/home from the working client. I get an error message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount /cmn mount: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive What does this mean? And how do I fix it?
