Hello Gentlemen,
I recently installed Redhat Linux 9.0 on a Compaq laptop. When I try and
mount our network NFS, I receive the following error message in the
/var/log/messages log file: nfs: mount failure "servername" /home on
/auto/home. Can some one please assist this newbie on getting NFS
running on this laptop?
Thanks
DS

There are quite a few things that could be misconfigured...
I would suggest the first place you start is by reading the configuration
section in the FAQ on http://nfs.sourceforge.net....

Most probable cause of a failure to mount a remote disk with a naive NFS
installation is a firewall problem. Try mounting the disk manually while
watching network traffic with ethereal or tcpdump. Don't be surprised if
you see a "connection refused" message from a computer that just made an
NFS request on the same port on which it is refusing to make the connection.
