Can't reach NFS share (again)
 

Once again something is screwing up in NFS. The shared directory is on a machine running FC6. When I attempt to connect to that shared folder, it consistently times out:

[root@linbill ~]# mount -t nfs server1:Public /media/Server1/Public
mount: mount to NFS server 'server1' failed: timed out (retrying).
mount: mount to NFS server 'server1' failed: timed out (retrying).
mount: mount to NFS server 'server1' failed: timed out (retrying).
mount: mount to NFS server 'server1' failed: timed out (retrying).
mount: mount to NFS server 'server1' failed: timed out (giving up).
[root@linbill ~]#

Turning off the firewall on the server results:

[root@linbill ~]# mount -t nfs server1:Public /media/Server1/Public
mount: server1:Public failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
[root@linbill ~]#

I had problems getting this set up at first until I was directed to the following post:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=294069

That solved the problem. However, when I went back and checked these settings, Things were different. If my memory is correct, I had to create the file "/etc/sysconfig/nfs" Now there is a big file with many different settings. I "corrected" the ones I had set before, but still no difference.

So once again, any help is appreciated.
