I manage a small network (6 computers) that was working under Fedora 7. It is a private network (behind a firewall) and its access to the internet is through a proxy, and this is working. One machine was the NIS and autofs server.
Unfortunately, it crashed and I lost the /etc directory. I decided to use the opportunity to upgrade it to Fedora 9, but I have been unable to make the network work again. NIS seems to be working on the server, but I can neither mount the home directory using autofs nor bind the NIS clients to the server. Sometime ago, I had upgraded one client to Fedora 9 and it showed similar symptoms. At the time, I supposed it was due some incompatibility between the 2 versions. Now, that both the client and server have the same Fedora version, I see this is not the case.
I have included below some results I get. Although I can ping and even ssh the machines, they seem not so see each other
Code:
On client:

Regarding autofs, unfortunately I could gather even less information:
Code:
On client:
[root@grape etc]# grep ^[^#] auto.master
/home /etc/auto.home --timeout=60
[root@grape etc]# grep ^[^#] auto.home
fruit -exec,dev,suid,rw,soft orchard:/home/fruit
[root@grape etc]# ls /home/fruit The error message only appears after several minutes
ls: cannot access /home/fruit: No such file or directory
Server:
[root@orchard etc]# grep ^[^#] exports
/home/fruit 192.168.30.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
A direct mount doesn't work either.
Code:
[root@grape etc]# service autofs stop
Stopping automount: [ OK ]
[root@grape etc]# mkdir /home/fruit
[root@grape etc]# mount orchard:/home/fruit /home/fruit
mount.nfs: internal error
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
