According to the specs of your box, only ftp and SMB are supported. The box runs Linux, but only these two protocols are enabled. No SSH, no NFS.

It is no use to keep trying to connect to port 21. On port 21 an FTP will answer, but you'll never be able to connect thru port 21 using another protocol.

What is a NOC (Network Operations Center??)

By having the NAS on a different subnet you make your life difficult. You must have a router between the two subnets. From the NAS, you should point to a default gateway which is able to route back to your machine.

Very basic, can you ping the NAS from your client?

Can you make an FTP connection and request a directory listing?

Can you place the NAS on the subnet of the client and make an SMB connection?

If the answers to these questions are affirmative, and you cannot connect thru SMB it is likely that some ports needed for SMB are not open in your router.

Yes, I can ping the ip address.

Yes NOC means that, I will see if the NAS is behind a router.My server is 208.*.*.* and 76.*.*.* is the NAS, 2 different networks within the same NOC.

My NAS has the option to be configured for SMB and NFS.Not sure what model your looking at but its there under the column "Network Access"

NETWORK ACCESS SETTINGS :
Type SMB NFS
Host
Folder
Permission
Root squash
Setting...
Category User Group
Group
User All accounts
Folder
Permission
Oplocks
Map archive

Thank you all for helping me out on this one.In the end I was able to do a simple UDP mount, unblocked the ports 111, 2049 and uncomment and unblock the standard ports in /etc/sysconfig/nfs.


Thank you all
