Hey friends,. I am having one 2 debian pcs and 1 FC3 pc in my office.I want to share some files from debian pcs so that users on FC3 can access it.I can see the files by giving command showmount -e 192.168.1.56. But whenever i try to mount that share it gives error mount -t nfs 192.168.1.56:/ctn /ctn the /etc/exports file on one of the debian : /home/agrover 192.168.1.55(rw,sync,no_wdelay,squash uids-0-99) /ctn *(rw,async,no_root_squash) /var/log 192.168.1.55(ro,all_squash) /raju 192.168.1.55(rw,squash uids=0-99) /home/mverma 192.168.1.55(rw,squash uids=0-99) /home/rajat 192.168.1.55(rw,squash uids=0-99) /home/raju 192.168.1.55(rw,squash uids=0-99) the error i get is mount to NFS server '192.168.1.56' failed: server is down.The nfs ,portmap and rpc services are running on debain as i can see the process id with grep command. Even in debian i have given /etc/hosts.allow ALL:ALL and also i have stopped iptables service in FC3 and SELINUX is disabled. Can anybody tell me what wrong i am doing. Thanks & Regards Ankush
