I'm using Slackware 12.0 with two computers set up in my LAN. When I try to mount from the client computer, I get the message mount: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused. Here is a list of all relevant files.

HOSTNAME

Code:

Veronica.MyPlace

exports

Code:

# See exports(5) for a description.
# This file contains a list of all directories exported to other computers.
# It is used by rpc.nfsd and rpc.mountd.

/mnt/backup/Media/Audio/Music 192.168.1.2(ro)

hosts.allow

Code:

#
# hosts.allow   This file describes the names of the hosts which are
#               allowed to use the local INET services, as decided by
#               the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.

ALL : 192.168.1.2
# End of hosts.allow.

hosts.deny

Code:

#
# hosts.deny    This file describes the names of the hosts which are
#               *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
#               by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.

HOSTNAME
The command I used to mount was -
mount Veronica.MyPlace:/mnt/backup/Media/Audio/Music /mnt/network
Also here is the output from rpcinfo -p

Code:

    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper

Hi,
I think, firewall is blocking the connection. So stop the firewall or configure the firewall properly and do the mount.

post the output

As far as I know, I have no firewall, but is there a way to check for sure? If I run exportfs -a I get no entry in /var/lib/nfs/xtab, but I get an entry in etab. What does that mean?

check by running service iptables status

or service ipchains status

I have no such command
