List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I'm a student in South Bank University London and i,m working on a project "distibuted and parallel processing in Linux". I tried to set up NFS(i have 1 server and 2 clients). My kernel version is 2.4.18-3 and i installed red.hat 7.3.I didn't install any other operation system. I check that nfs is running on the server(all the daemons as start-up scripts)and i ckeck that nfs is running on the clients as well. I edit /etc/exports i wrote the directory that i want to export and the destination hosts. About the clients,the mount version is 2.10n,nfs daemons are running. I red the file /proc/filesystems if nfs was there,it wasn't but appeared by typing insmod nfs.I check again the services by typing rpcinf -p and everything was ok. When i try to mount the remote directory i have error message: mount:RPC:Port mapper failure-RPC:Unable to receive I checked again that NFS was running in three machines and afterwards i typed on each client: rpcinfo -p servername the error message was: rpcinfo:can't contact portmapper:RPC remote system error:Connection refused Also i want to say in the case that there is a routing problem,i ping the machines and everything is ok.The only problem that i have until now is that i cannot connect the clients with the university's network.When i ping the default gateway (from the clients) says Network is unreachable.In the case of server(has 2 network cards) i ping everything and the university network is reachable. I would really appreciate replying and i'm really looking forward your suggestions and advices.
