I have a three machine network behind a router which acts as a DHCP server and a gateway to the internet via an ADSL modem . Two of the machines have their IP addresses assigned by the router dynamically. The other, set aside to act as a webserver, has been given a static IP address outside of the range available to the router for dynamic addressing and has been configured for port forwarding. I'm using Red Hat 8.0 Workstation installations on the dynamically assigned computers and a Red Hat 8.0 Server installation, of course, on the webserver. Wanting to be able to share files on the two dynamically assigned computers, I've made an attempt to set up each machine as a NFS file server. Starting with the first machine, I wrote a simple /etc/exports file permitting unfetterred access to the whole of the file system by the other computer. The entries in /etc/exports were as follows:
/ 192.168.1.101(rw)
Next, I ran
chconfig nfs on chconfig nfslock on
to start the nfs daemons. Rebooting, and running
rpcinfo -p
I was shown entries both for mountd and nfs, so I moved on to the client machine.
At the client, where I've chosen to manually mount NFS, as root I ran
mkdir /mnt/192.168.1.100 mount 192.168.1.100:/home/jlowell/moneydance /mnt/192.168.1.100
and get the following output:
mount: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: unable to receive
Would someone be kind enough to explain to me what's going off the rails here? As far as I know I've done what has to be done so as to enable mounting on the client computer.
