I am trying to find out why I can mount my FreeBSD disk as an NFS

When I ran


$ showmount -e

on my FreeBSD machine, I got the expected response

Exports list on localhost:
/usr                               192.168.1.101 192.168.1.102

which includes both the Macs. But when I ran it on my Mac

$ showmount -e 192.168.1.100

I got this error

RPC: Timed out: Can't do Exports rpc

so I went back to the FreeBSD machine and tried again

$ showmount -e localhost

and now get the same error (almost)

RPC: Timed out
showmount: can't do exports rpc

Any ideas what is wrong?

Which machine works, which doesn't, and are you sure there are no firewalls involved?


192.168.1.101 works, 192.168.1.102 does not.

Both firewalls are off (for now for purposes of diagnosis).

I think the key is something to do with why

$ showmount -e localhost

on the FreeBSD box sometimes works and sometimes does not.
