Good Day.
 
I've just completed installing RC1 on 2 seperate systems on the same 10/100 network (both connected off the same hub switch).
 
These computers have the network setup properly, using the same subnet mask, with IP's 10.10.140.52 and 65. A very Basic install has been performed on the server computer consisting of unchecking everything in the initial selection dialog, specifying no documentation when it prompts, then selecting nfs-utils package from the tree view.
 
NFS exports have been setup through linuxconf on the server, which appear to be working correctly.
 
Linuxconf is used to create the mount points on the client computer. (Attempts to browse to the server through MCC unsuccessful in finding the server). Once linuxconf created the mount points, I returned to command line and attempted to mount the first NFS share.
 
Result: It succeeds fine (after about 16-18 seconds). All functionality works perfectly.
 
Attempt to mount the second share, rpc.mountd timeout on client.
Attempt to use mounted share. Fail.
Attempt to umount mounted share, Fail, RPC.umount command timeout on client.
 
No apparent freezing on the server. No visible errors in log file. Server log file mentions authenticating the client repeatedly, however the client timesout.
 
This is reproduceable time and time again.
 
On a related note (I believe), I attempt to use the NFS install, and it always generates an error on connection (or atleast, I assume it's generating an error as it does not mount at all).
 
If anyone has any ideas how I can debug this problem further I would welcome the suggestion. I have been experiencing this problem with all the betas and would like to attempt to resolve it.
