Post Failed to mount the root directory via nfs


I am a newby at linux and i am trying to connet my thin client to my linux server, this is the error i get at the workstation computer, i am lost with this error, i have checked nfs services and itis running, but i do Not know how to fix this error so my thin client can connect to my server, below is the error i get from my workstation. Can some please help as i need to get this to work for my boss.

This is the error i get

Running dhcp on port 67

Mounting root filesystem:192.168.1.4/opt/ltsp/i386 from:
Mount: Unknown host
Mount: nfsmount failed: Connection refused nfs warning: mount version newer than kernel
RPC: send msg returned error 22
nfs:rpc call returned error 22
nfs-get-root: getattr error=22
nfs_read-super= get root inode failed
Mount: mpounting-192.168.1.4/opt/ltsp/i386 on/mnt failed: Invalid argument

Error! Failed to mount the root directory via NFS


Possible reasons include:

1) NFS services may not be running on the server

2) Workstation IP does not map to a hostname, either in /etc/hosts or in DNS.

3) Wrong address for NFS server in the dhcp config file

4) Wrong pathname for root directory in the DHCP config file

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
