Trouble with NFS on Redhat 7.1 and SuSE 7.2

Trouble with NFS on Redhat 7.1 and SuSE 7.2

Post by charles lyttl » Tue, 23 Oct 2001 09:33:16



I'm trying to build connect NFS with the Redhat machine as server and
the SuSE machine as client. "ping" works. But when mounting the NFS
files the SuSE machine givers error message
"mount : RPC unable to receive; errno = Connection Refused"

If I reverse and make the SuSE the server and Redhat the client I get
"mount: RPC: Timed Out"

What would I most likely be doing wrong?

check your security levels in redhat... default will stop nfs afaik

fire up rpcinfo and see if the nfs services are in fact starting

As Brett has suggested, the above error is either the result of the NFS server
not loaded onto your system or that a firewall is present blocking packets
from being able to get to the NFS server.

This is a firewall issue.

You can use "lokkit" under Redhat 7+ to revise your firewall settings.

See ya

That was it! None of the Redhat references I have mention lokkit! I
didn't even know I had a firewall, and there it was on maximum security!

thanks, Guys.

1. SuSe 7.2 makes SuSe 7.1 look like beta software and Mandrake 8 like alpha.

Hey guys I just finished installing SuSe 7.2 personal edition which I
picked up at CompUSA today. I got to say that even though I was a Mandrake
fan I am about to switch loyalties and become a SuSe fan. right now I don't
no where to start but everything about SuSe 7.2 just screams ready for
prime time. Installation was one of the slickest looking Linux  installs I
have every seen. It beats Mandrake hands down and makes windoze look very
outdated.

SuSe 7.2 is fast and stable and every thing from my Creative Live Drive (
which Mandrake never ever detected ) to my NIC 3COM 3c905-TX card was
detected and worked from the start. I updated via SuSe's online update tool
which handled everything automaticly ( I was to lazy to do it manually )
and flawlessly.  Am happy to say that SuSe has won me over and M$ better
watch it's back because if other distro's start looking and acting like
SuSe then it's going to run into a lot of problems in upcoming years from
now.

P.S. The only flaw I find with SuSe is that they make it very diffuclt find
and download the free version. Now am going to see if I can install this on
an old Packard Bell P5 200 mhz system I got laying around here somewhere.
Oh yeah here are my specs of my current system :

AMD 1.2 ghz cpu

Asus A7M 761 motherboard

512 DDR-SDRAM

64mb DDR-SDRAM LeadTek WinFast Geforce 2 GTS Pro card

Creative Sound Blaster X-Gamer sound card

Creative LiveDrive bay

3COM 3c905-TX NIC

IBM 75GXP  60gb hardrive

Maxtor Quantum FireBall 13.6 XL harddrive
