check what your rpcinfo says on both localhost and server

rpcinfo -p
rpcinfo -p server_ip

check if your exported shares are running

showmount -e server_ip

check also your /etc/host.allow,deny

Ive been trying to get NFS to work on our network here. The results have been wierd. Sometimes I ma able to mount a shared (or exported) directory, sometimes I can't. The wierd thing is that it happens to the same machine with no changes whatsoever.

This morning I set up /etc/exports as instructed, ran portmap, nfs, nfslock, opened the proper ports in my firewall, and the remote machine was able to mount the volume without any trouble at all. I could create files on the remote volume, etc.

A few minutes later, I unmounted the volume. When I tired to mount it again immediately afterwards, I got the reply:

mount: RPC: Remote System Error - Connection Refused

I can't figure this out. It was working fine a minute before, and then it won't work at all.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance. God bless!
