NFS Client acting up (RH 7.3)


I'm not a NFS guru, that's for sure, but this one seems srtange.

I can mount my NFS exports from the RH73 machine from any of the *nix or NFS equiped Windoze boxes... but I can't mount ANY NFS export on the RH73 machine.

I get the RPC error. "RPC timeout RPC is unable to recieve" so that makes me think is a problem with security on the RH73 machine, so I stripped all the iptables/ipchains and even recompiled without any packet/socket filtering (IOW the machine is wide open... behind a PIX, of course). But, if the NFS server portion is working fine and just the client is gimpy.... then what? I have the same error. I went through the NFS-HOWTO and all the needed software is in place and seems to be working..... but I still can't mount ANY NFS export (Sun, HP-UX, Windoze w/NFS Link, Slackware boxes...... none!)

I'm stumped.

Turned out to be an issue with the NFS server machines and RH complaining about it. Moved the RH client to mount with one version back (on the exports of the servers) and the RH machine is happy now.

Ta Da.
