Gordon, You need to be running portmapper on the local system, as well as the remote system.

I have Telnet, ssh, samba, ftp and apache all working happily with guest lans. I can't seem to get nfs to mount a location on another (SLES7 with VCTC) server. This is a mount that worked before going to guest lans with the SLES8 server. The error message I get when trying to do the NFS mount is mount: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive I had updated the following files to get guest lans to work /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-hsi0 /etc/sysconfig/network/routes /etc/modules.conf /etc/chandev.conf and also the following with the new IP address: /etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.allow It looks like rpc isn't working right. I don't see anything in /etc/rpc (default from SLES8 install) that would be a problem. and if I do ps -ax | grep rpc I get 382 ? S 0:00 /sbin/rpc.statd 504 ? SW 0:00 [rpciod] 505 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd I'm sure I've just missed something somewhere. Anyone have any ideas? "Great Minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events.
