neither the client or the server in question is running any type of
firewall. They're both behind a gateway machine that provides
firewalling for the entire LAN. I finally became so disgusted with
trying to find out what was going on that I simply reloaded the
workstation with a fresh install of CentOS 4. While that was loading I
tried mounting the exported share from another machine on the LAN and
received the same results. so that pretty much tells me the problem is
definitely on the server. That server is an FC3 machine and is very
close to being converted to a CentOS machine because I'm very quickly
becoming disenchanted with Fedora Core 3.
My next step before reloading that machine is to get nfs reinstalled and
working. baring that its a reload for certain.
