Subject: Diskless client problems ...

Hi all,

I have a problem with a new server I am setting up right now.

When booting my diskless clients I get the following error:

Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 192.68.0.20
portmap: server 192.168.0.20 not responding, timed out
Root-NFS: Unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default
Looking up port of RPC 100005/2 on 192.168.0.20
portmap: server 192.168.0.20 not responding, timed out
Root-NFS: Unable to get mountd port number from server, using default
mount: server 192.168.0.20 not responding, timed out
Root-NFS: Server returned error -5 while mounting /netclients/192.168.0.24
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER

A bit more infos about my environment:

The server has 3 NICs:

eth0, 192.168.1.100 (not connected right now)
eth1, 192.168.0.20
eth2, 153.95.169.115

What is strange is that if I set up a small local network with only eth1
connected to a single switch with my clients, everything works fine !

The moment I plug everything in the company net or add eth2 to the switch,
booting is not working anymore ! (see errors above)

On the server side I can see the requests to the portmapper, but somehow the
client is not getting a response ... :

portmap[18088]: connect from 192.168.0.24 to getport(nfs)
server: about do a switch
portmap[18090]: connect from 192.168.0.24 to getport(nfs)
server: about do a switch

... and so on

I set up portmap in /etc/hosts.allow with portmap : 192.168.0. , I also
tried portmap : ALL or no entry at all, effects are the same.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated !!!

Regards,
Marco Schwarz
