I have 2 computer : (they can ping each other)
computer A = dual boot win98se & mandrake, say 192.168.0.1
computer B = Mandrake , say 192.168.0.5

I use mount command to access files/directories in computer A as follow :
Computer A I do :
vi /etc/exports
/mnt/networkout 192.168.0.5(rw)
ps aux | grep rpc.nfsd
say the job number is 1103
ps aux | grep rpc.mountd
say the job number is 1105
kill 1103 1105; /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd ; /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd

Computer B I do :

mount 192.168.0.1:/mnt/networkout /mnt/networkin

And here comes the problem ::
I can see the files in /mnt/networkin but when I try to copy or rpm directly in that directory it just looks like that it hangs (only the xterm hangs)

cp -iv /mnt/networkin/java.rpm.bin $HOME
*** ---> *** can't remember but after this it just hangs ... well the cursor still flash but it sits there for like 5 mins but still not finish with it.

I am just wondering if I have to config the NIC for the speed specification or is there a Network monitoring tools that I can use to see if it really is doing something

ps. I had tried to cp a "small" txt tile but it still hand so I don't think that it's because the copy file is too big so it too longer
Any idea ? greatly appreciated

ps . I get this error message while I am trying to shutdown the computer , probably because I close the xterm not the copy process :
umount nfs file system : cannot mpount prog RPC : RPC : port mapper failure - RPC unable to receive

what am I missing .... what file am I suppose to modify to make the port accessable ....
if u can see the file doesn;'t mena that u can manipulate the file ?
