From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; WMM) Description of problem: I can mount another directory from one DESKtop on another DESKtop, But when i try to doe the same thing on a laptop i get errors. export on desktop -> mount command on laptop -> mount : RPC : time out export on laptop --> mount command on desktop -> mount : RPC : portmapper failure - RPC : Unable to receive. On both machine the exportfiles are correctly filled. And before giving the command i did a service nfs restart, to be sure. If i reboot the desktop in windows98 and try to mount a directory on the laptop using samba, it works fine. On both machines the same version of redhat is running and all packages are installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.mount -t nfs Desktop:/home/1 /import (command given on laptop) 2.mount : RPC : time out 3. 4. mount -t nfs Laptop:/home/2 /import (command given on Desktop) 5. mount : RPC : portmapper failure - RPC : Unable to receive. Actual Results: nfs directory's not mounted Expected Results: mounted directory's because all the deamons are running, there is an network connection, otherwise i could also not mount a directory in windows using samba. Additional info:
I think you have your firewall security level set too high. It is blocking the NFS connection.
Take a look at http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=82798 for more information.
With setting the eth0 to trusted, or the firewall to disabled it works. Thanx I don't understand why samba is not also stopped by the firewall ?
