How can I accomplish that? It's not nfsd and portmapper who use varying ports, it's rquotad and mountd. Modify /etc/sysconfig/nfs and make it look something like this: export MOUNTD_PORT=922 export RQUOTAD_PORT=923 Obviously, choose the two ports you want. I use 922 and 923. That should fix you up. You'll need the following ports open on your nfs server host (assuming you use 922, 923). 111/tcp 111/udp 2049/tcp 922/tcp 922/udp 923/tcp 923/udp Best, Jay
