Hello again debian-user!
As I was trying to set up NFS on a debian-potato-box at work ("agda" at
130.241.119.140) I found out that the remote host, that was to be the NFS
client 194.236.111.14, could not connect to the portmapper on the server. The
error message recieved was "No route to host". I know virtually nothing about
the portmapper, but other network traffic had no problem to find its way
through.
I have tried to change the settings in /etc/hosts.allow on the server but with
no luck.
On 130:241.119.140 /etc/hosts.allow reads as follows:
portmap : 194.236.111.14
ALL : 127.0.0.1
I also found out that the server had problems with "localhost", it could not
ping "localhost" from it self, but I simply added this line in /etc/hosts wich
seemed to solve that one.
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
--there are more lines--
When I try rpcinfo from agda, it seems to running alright:
[12:24:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>rpcinfo -p
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
But when I try "rpcinfo -p 130.241.119.140" from 194.236.111.14 I got that "No
route to host" error message.
TIA
Hans Ekbrand
