Cool

You on a ms free 12 step program.. LOL

Very useful thread.... Followed the service start, stop instructions and got my mount working.

I stopped both iptables and ipchains. Which means i don't have a firewall now. Anyway to get around this? I am using RH 7.2.

On a RH 9 machine, there is a setting called trust your ethernet card which when selected, will allow the mount. This is with firewall on. Is there a equivalent in RH 7.2?

trust eth? means let everything through.

That's not what you want for the external interface at all.

There are some good iptables firewall rules available, however the best thing to do is try to learn what the rules mean and setup a firewall to only allow what you want in. You may also choose to use a GUI tool. I don't use them, not sure which ones are the best.
