Remote NFS problems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have several Sun Solaris 8 and RedHat Linux 9 NFS servers.  From
inside our building all is good.  From home, on my Sun or my Linux box
I've defined each server in /etc/hosts and I can mount and operate on
any file system that I like weather it's from a Sun or Linux NFS server.

We have an employee who lives across the county and he's on Verizon DSL.
He's running RedHat 9 on his workstation.  He can get to the Sun
exported NFS shares just fine but he can not get to anything that's
shared off of any of the RedHat servers.  Meanwhile I can get to them
just fine.  He sees nothing more than a timeout most of the time.
Although sometimes he can get into a share, maybe get part of an ls or a
do a more on a file before seeing a timeout.

Does this sound like it's a client problem or a server problem?  What
should I be looking at to try and resolve this problem?  We have about a
dozen Sun servers that he's fine with (and he even builds software whose
source is remote mounted) and about half as many Linux servers that
exhibit this problem.

Any ideas?
