Unable to mount NFS Share [RPCPROG_MNT: RPC: Timed out]

Configuring NFS Sever has never been such a difficult task. But on FreeBSD I am still not being able to mount NFS share.

I have two FreeBSD Machines:
1.] NFS Server
2.] NFS Client

Settings of NFS Server:

# cat /etc/exports | grep -i exports

Quote:

/exports -alldirs -maproot=root -network 10.222.111.0 -mask 255.255.254.0

# cat /etc/rc.conf | grep -i -e portmap -e nfs -e rpc -e mount

Quote:

portmap_enable="YES"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
rpcbind_enable="YES"
mountd_flags="-r"

# showmount -e

Quote:

Exports list on localhost:
/exports 10.222.111.0

Settings on Client:
# cat /etc/rc.conf | grep -i nfs

Quote:

nfs_client_enable="YES"

When I trying to mount the NFS share on the client, I get following error:
# mount -v 10.222.111.213:/exports /mnt

Quote:

[udp] 10.222.111.213:/exports: RPCPROG_MNT: RPC: Timed out

(On Server: 10.222.111.213)
# tail /var/log/messages | grep -i mount

Quote:

Aug 3 16:40:41 ports mountd[580]: mount request from 10.222.111.210 from unprivileged port

Please advice !

Are you root when you execute the mount?

YUP...I am root....

Add -t nfs to your mount command.

You haven't changed any standard NFS ports, have you?

The problem continues to haunt me:

# mount -t nfs 10.222.111.213:/exports /mnt

Quote:

[udp] 10.222.111.213:/exports: RPCPROG_MNT: RPC: Timed out

Just to additional info I am being able mount the same locally i.e on the NFS Server following command works but it simply doesn't work on the client.

mount -t nfs 10.222.111.213:/exports /mnt

No I haven't changed any standard NFS ports.

The freebsd nfs guide will probably tell what is wrong.

If you do showmount -e do you get any output on the server?
Is rpcbind running?

I have this in my rc.conf.
However, when I start manually I do:
rpcbind; nfsd -u -t -n 4; mountd -r;

rpcbind_enable="YES"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
mountd_enable="YES"
mountd_flags="-r"

I know that this thread is a long time inactive, but maybe it will help someone else.
