For starters, search Google. I did, and solved my own similar
problems. Check list comes down to ...
- Server & client both have IP addresses such that they can find
each other. (In my case, dhclient(8) cannot get an IP address
after boot up; i had to start it manually on 4.x.)
- Portmapper/Rpcbind(8) is running on client & server.
- Nfsd(8) is registered with portmapper/rpcbind.
- Mountd(8) is listening on a port not blocked by a firewall. (In
my case, mountd was opening a random port for which there was no
allowance in the firewall. Now i start mountd with a port that
is open in firewall.)
- At the end, make sure above is as intended by use of rpcinfo(8) (on
5.x; don't know similar command on 4.x).
I could have replied just "more information" or not at all to your
post (since you have not provided much information), but i send it to
be committed to archive for my own future benefit.
