Not sure if this belongs in the Network forum or the OS forum, but anyways. . .I am running Mandrake 9.0 on one machine and OpenBSD on another. I want to set up the OpenBSD machine as an NFS server to share files with my Mandrake machine (the Mandrake machine would be the client).
NFSD and portmap are running on the OpenBSD machine, and the /etc/exports file has been modified as follows:
But when I try to mount the above directory from my Mandrake machine using:Quote:
/home/snozzy 192.168.0.3/255.255.255.0 (rw)
nothing happens. I just get the following error:Quote:
mount 192.168.0.2:/home/snozzy/ /mnt/shares
Can anyone help? Is there something else I should be doing as well? I have both my Mandrake and OpenBSD machines connected to a Netgear firewall router. Do I have to open a port up on the router? When I installed and configured Samba to share files between the OpenBSD machine and my WinXP machine I didn't have to open any ports on the firewall, would NFS be any different?Quote:
mount: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to send
