The NFS server is doing a security/spoofing check on the DNS of clients
that connect. DNS is the system that resolves hostnames (www.google.com)
into an IP address (216.239.59.147 or whatever). It can also be used to
resolve IP addresses back into hostnames. For simple setups, you should
be able to resolve a hostname to an IP, then resolve that IP and get the
same hostname back. That is the check your NFS server is doing.
Often this check will fail due to complicated DNS setups or
misconfigured DNS.
You have two options:
1) Ask your network administrator to fix your DNS
2) See if your NFS server has a switch to turn off the reverse DNS
check, and turn it off.

Subject: RE: Unable to NFS mount in dm355
Phil,
I more than owe you a thanks! - especially pointing out the
/var/log/messages
It saved me almost 2 full day of struggling with nfs mounting on
a particluar board.
Now if I use a static ip instead of a dhcp, this is working .
Well, Until we run out of static ips or so, I think I could live
with static ips.
However, it would be great if someone could tell the meaing of
this error messages, since that would help us play with the connection
at will.
Thank you again!
Cheers,
Deepak
