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.
