I am currently working in an environment with Solaris, Linux, and Windows machines. I use Cygwin on my Windows machine all the time and I have very little issues. I am currently using Cygwin's nfs-server to create shares to mount on the Solaris and Linux machines.
The nfs-server works great on my Windows 2000 Pro box, but will not run on Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2003 Server. portmap starts correctly and can be run as a server, but the rpc.nfsd and mountd.rpc both fail when they are started. When starting the services 'rpc.nfsd -F' or 'rpc.mountd -F' The error is as follows: Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Cannot assign requested address nfsd[3248] 01/29/104 16:09 rpcmisc.c 92 : unable to register (nfsd, 2, udp). Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Cannot assign requested address mountd[2404] 01/29/104 16:11 rpcmisc.c 92 : unable to register (mountd, 1, udp). I have seen a couple posts like this in the past and I am wondering if anyone has any more information. Thanks for your help.
