Unable to mount NFS share through network IP


Hi,

I'm *able* to mount a network share through the localhost IP:
mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/isodump /test
..works perfectly!

but not through a network IP (i.e the server I'm mouting this on *is* 202.73.56.130 - I'm trying to do a loopback mount - mount to itself via network IP):
mount -t nfs 202.73.56.130:/isodump /test

The following error is returned:
mount: mount to NFS server '202.73.56.130' failed: System Error: Connection refused.

hosts.deny and .allow is empty, and since it can be mounted through localhost, there shouldn't be any reason why it should be failing via network IP?

Regards,

Kelvin

Have you verified that there is no firewall running on the WAN IP? It could be that the ports are being blocked, though they are allowed on the localhost.
