I am new to networking in linux so please forgive. That being said lets get to the problem.

I have 2 computers running Mandrake 7.0 both have a 3com 509b card on eth0. They can both ping each other back and forth and NFS is running on both. The problem is this:

I cannot mount the files on the other computer using NFS from either computer. I can telnet from one into the other but not from the other back to the first. All seems to be set as I'v read yet no luck.

When I try to telnet on the one it just closes the telnet session as soon as I try to log on to the other box????

As to the Mounting the the other box's drives and filesystem...there are many words to describe the frustration I feel but none are appropriate here.

I was hoping there is somewhere else on the net to read MORE THOROUGH directions for networking under linux than the HOW TO's. These seem to be a general starting place but do not get into real life situations where all does not fall into place perfectly.


Can anybody help???

double check that both machines are runing the NFS daemons at startup.I think you need the sunrpc to but I cant remember.Also make shure telenet is runing on both and you dont have something like ALL:ALL in hosts.deny.As for fstab
are your entries correct.I know you probably tried all this but sometimes its like proofing your own writing.You go over it a dozen times and its just overlooked.

fstab says:

(otherbox: /home /mnt/otherbox nfs usr,exec,dev,suid,hard,intr 1 1)

All on one line. Both telnet and nfs are running on both machines and here are host files:

Host.allow is as follows:

portmap 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0

Host.deny is as follows:

portmap ALL

ok try some of this

otherbox:/home /mnt/otherbox nfs hard intr

(usr,exec...are not nfs parameters..check man nfs)

host.allow
ALL:IP# of otherbox (in otherbox use this box;s ip)

host:deny
ALL:ALL

see if this works.

nfs

the first time i setup nfs i forgot the root squash option.
are you logged in as root when accessing the nfs share?
example from exports file: /home user(rw,no_root_squash)

also make sure your daemons are running, mountd and nfsd or depending on distro could be rpc.nfsd or rpc.mountd
