NFS server is down?


I have redhat fedora core 2 on an amd athlon. And I am trying to mount nfs partitions.
I can mount the drive on one computer, and then if I try to on the other it says server is down. I edited the exports file. (/home 192.168.0.2(rw,sync)) and used the status command on the server I want to mount my drive from. I says its running, but each time I try to mount it; it says the server is down. Any Ideas on how to resolve this issue. I can post more information on the problem if you ask. thanks, r^2

After editing your exports file, are you exporting the filesystem so its recognized as an exported filesystem?

Edit file.
Run this command: exportfs -a

Then try to mount. And make sure nfsd is running with portmap... etc.

I did that (exportfs -a). and I used rpcinfo -p and it says that portmapper is running. But when I try to mount it . It keeps saying server is down.

your addition to your exports explains this
Code:
(/home 192.168.0.2(rw,sync))

Your telling nfs to only export it to 192.168.0.2 and thats going to be the only computer that will ever be able to mount it.

use 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0

This allows machines in the entire subnet ip 1 - 255

Also verify firewall rules if they apply for access.
