Thank you for the response.
I started installing the necessary packages, but ran into a 'Connection
Refused' problem when I tried to make the connection. (This is why I
considered doing a fresh installation.)
I did the following:
run ping, it worked fine;
setup /etc/expots; permission is given to every client on the LAN for rw I
run:
exportfs -a -v;
restarted portmapper and nfs;
hosts.deny contains nothing. hosts.allow has the clients listed.
However, I could not mount the designated directory which is on the server. I
got the following error message:
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
Subsequently I ran on the server
rpcinfo -p
and got
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100024 1 udp 32768 status
100024 1 tcp 32768 status

100005 3 udp 32769 mountd
100005 3 tcp 32770 mountd

100003 3 udp 2049 nfs
100021 1 udp 32770 nlockmgr
100021 3 udp 32770 nlockmgr
100021 4 udp 32770 nlockmgr
If I run from the client side
rpcinfo -p [serverName]
I get:
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection
refused
I have never done anything with networking, and I am almost certain that I
making a basic 'newbie' mistake.
Could you please suggest something I could do to make the connection between
the client and the server?
