I don't even have the firewall turned on on the client so how could it
be the client having the problem?
client# service iptables status
Firewall is stopped.
I get this error
client# rpcinfo -p server
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: rpcinfo: RPC: Timed out
What does that error mean?
It means that the client isn't able to contact 'server' on port 111.
Check whether there is a firewall running between the client and
'server', or a firewall on 'server' which is blocking access. Even
though other clients can connect to 'server' and get rpcinfo from it,
there might be a firewall which is restricting which clients can contact
'server' on that port.
