Hi list,

Please somebody help me. I am suffering to setup my NFS about a week!

I have some pc running RedHat 7.2. I am trying to mount directories via NFS.
Does not matter what I do the error message always the same:
 "mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused"

Here is my setup:

The server IP: 192.168.7.50
The client IP: 192.168.7.51
Primary name + domain: server.blackbox.com
                 
On the server typed the following in /etc/exports :
/home       192.168.7.51(rw)

in /etc/host.deny :
    portmap:ALL 
    lockd:ALL
    mountd:ALL
    rquotad:ALL
    statd:ALL

in /etc/host.allow :
    portmap: 192.168.7.51
    lockd: 192.168.7.51
    rquotad: 192.168.7.51
    mountd: 192.168.7.51
    statd: 192.168.7.51

I updated /etc/exports, started portmapper and NFS. Everything was up and running.
Pinging was Ok both way too.

On the client:
Portmappert and NFS was running.

Made a directory for mount point: mkdir /mnt/home   

Wanted to mount the server "/home" directory to the client "/mnt/home" :
Type the command on the client: mount server.blackbox.com:/home /mnt/home

It was not work.....:-( Just the message come: 
        "mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused"

I tried to add to the client /etc/fstab:
        "server.blackbox.com:/home mnt nfs  rw  0 0"

Not help! Just the same error message !

The mount command only on the server or on the client is working well! I dont know why
they couldnt communicate together. What did I miss??? 

I read something about "ipchains, netfilter and ipfwadm" can make some trouble but I 
dont
know about them too much!

Any help welcome!!!

Thanks 
Fabi
