Hi

I have ported linux on my board and have given static ip address to both the board and the linux machine. Also they are connected to each other through the cross over cable. The ipaddress of the linux machine is 192.168.10.20 and the board is 192.168.10.30. With this configuration, i am able to take root file system from the linux machine. Now the problem is when i am not connecting the two machines with the cross over cable instead connecting them through the network, then i am not able to fetch the root file system from the linux machine.
Also the nfsd port it is not able to find whereas it is able to get the mountd port number. All the dameons are running in the the linux machine, properly.
Following errors are coming:

Also i have checked the ethernet packets on the linux machine.
First i captured when the two were connected with the cross-over cable. After arp-request,
Board -> Host machine
Protocol : PORTMAP
Packet details: V2 GETPORT call NFS(100003) v:2 UDP

Host machine-> Board
Protocol : PORTMAP
Packet details: V2 GETPORT reply (call in 6365) PORT:2049

Board -> Host machine
Protocol : PORTMAP
Packet details: V2 GETPORT call mount(100005) v:1 UDP

Host machine-> Board
Protocol : PORTMAP
Packet details: V2 GETPORT reply (call in 6367) PORT:823

Now if i put the two systems on the network then following packets were observerd after ARP exchange
Board -> Host machine
Protocol : PORTMAP
Packet details: V2 GETPORT call mount(100005) v:2 UDP

Host machine-> Board
Protocol : PORTMAP
Packet details: V2 GETPORT reply (call in 292) PORT:823

The first nfs packet is missing in this case in the second case.

can anyone suggest the solution?

Thanks in advance!!
