Re: [expert] Network Blues
Yes I've issued the command netfs restart (nfs doesn't seem to work in 7.1). I get this error message: Mounting NFS filesystems mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused This happen's during boot or when I restart after making configuration changes. Here is boss' fstab entry: darkstar.ken.org:/net2 /root/Desktop/Network nfs exec,dev,suid,rw 1 1 The folder /net2 exists on darkstar and CAN'T be accessed from boss. Boss' exports file: net1 darkstar.ken.org(rw,no_root_squash,insecure) Boss' hosts file: 127.0.0.1 loopback.localhost lo 192.168.10.20 darkstar.ken.orgdarkstar 192.168.10.10 boss.ken.orgboss boss' resolve.conf: search localdomain Here is darkstar's fstab entry: boss.ken.org:/net1 /root/Desktop/Boss nfs user,exec,dev,suid,rw 1 1 The folder /net1 exists on boss and CAN be accessed from darkstar. == Darkstar's exports file: /net2 boss.ken.org(rw,no_root_squash,insecure) == Darkstar's hosts file 127.0.0.1 loopback.localhost lo 192.168.10.20 darkstar.ken.orgdarkstar 192.168.10.10 boss.ken.orgboss = Darkstar's hosts file: search localdomain I have fought this problem through several months and several distro's not just LM. I'm pretty sure I have overlooked something in the configuration, but for the life of me I don't know what. In my original post I had the directory mounts backward, darkstar CAN mount the directory on boss but boss CAN'T mount the directory on darkstar. I only have the barest minimum of networking knowledge so simple explainations will be of more help to me. OH, the network set up is coax with terminators in a 2 system network, if it makes any difference. Thanks a LOT for your help. It's this feeling of co-operation that makes Linux the great OS that it is. -- Ken Thompson Electrocom Computer Services 1801 Wayne Dr. Payette, Idaho 83661 Ph.

Can someone explain the /24 (192.168.1.0/24 ) in the nfs export line in fstab? I have noticed it in several posts and it's the only thing I can see different than mine. I have been having trouble getting my linux to linux network to operate correctly and after following all the instructions, man pages, HOWTO's, tutorials and answers from the kind people on this list, to the best of my understanding, I still have a glitch. I CANNOT get a two computer network to mount bi-directionally. I can get computer 1, (boss) to mount the exported directory on computer 2 (darkstar) but am unable to make darkstar mount the exported directory on boss. While looking at the configuration of "boss", I set up "darkstar" the same way (with the right addresses and directory names, of course) FTP, Telnet, ping ALL work both ways OK. The error I get is connection refused.. Both at start up and each time I try a different setting and then restart netfs, I'm outta my league at this point, can someone give me a hand with this? TIA. -- Ken Thompson Electrocom Computer Services 1801 Wayne Dr. Payette, Idaho 83661 Ph.

Re: [expert] Network Blues
/24 is the new representation for netmasks. All "1" bits must be contiguous, so this is more convenient than 255.255.255.0... /16 = 255.255.0, /20 = 255.255.240.0, /32 = 255.255.255.255, etc... Have you done nfs start on boss...? The 'puter you're trying to connect TO is usually where the problem lies.

Re: [expert] Network Blues
The /24 means "the first 24 bits are the network." (Put another way, that's the network mask.) This can also be written / 255.255.255.0; means the same thing, but /24 saves typing. I doubt that this explains your problem, but if you are posting about a difference, it might help to see what yours says.
