sorry for late. i had a vacation last week.

did you open the firewall on your server?

or try to disable firewall totally.

service iptables stop

ok.. i stopped the firewall .. double and even tripple checked that the service is running correctly on the server .. i tried with another PC linux ..

from the other pc i typed :

showmount -e <myIP>

the shared folder appeared after a while .. (about 5 seconds at first..faster next)

but when i tried to mount .. it said" RPC timeout" after a loong while ..

i tried to mount from the uCinux .. it said the following:

mount: RPC: Timed out

mount: nfsmount failed: Bad file descriptor

mount: Mounting blaBla on Blabla failed: Invalid Argument[/b]

You need the -o nolock in mount flags.

mount -t nfs -n -o nolock,rsize=1024,wsize=1024 192.168.1.2:/home/nios2 /mnt/nfs

( eg, server ip 192.168.1.2)

Look in the wiki carefully.

But why you failed to mount nfs from another linux pc?
