Open up ports 111 (TCP & UDP), 2049 (TCP & UDP), and 4002 (UDP) on both machines. If you firewall REJECTs these ports, remove those lines. On the NFS server side, add this line to /etc/sysconfig/nfs: MOUNTD_PORT=4002 Restart nfs and iptables, and verify that it works. Also, update the nfs-utils on both machines using up2date. Forrest
