Hello and thank you for any clever advice I recently upgraded from kernel 2.2 to 2.4 > uname -a Linux pc022lrmf 2.4.8-26mdk #1 Sun Sep 23 17:06:39 CEST 2001 i686 unknow Meanwhile, I lost my ability to connect through NFS to some of the computers in my local network (only Windows PC with NFS server, whereas I can still connect to UNIX servers). For example, when I try to connect to a PC NFS server called pc075lrmf, I get : > mount pc075lrmf:/D /mnt/test/ mount: RPC: unable to receive; errno = Connection refused 1/ I pinged and verified if pc075lrmf is listening 2/ I looked at hosts.allow and hosts.deny which are ok 3/ I looked at pc075lrmf with showmount > showmount -e pc075lrmf Export list for pc075lrmf: /D (everyone) /E (everyone) 4/ I tried rpcinfo and got rpcinfo: can't contact port mapper rpcinfo -u pc075lrmf portmap says that version 2 to 4 of program 100000 are ready but rpcinfo -t pc075lrmf portmap says that program 100000 is not working ????
