NFS Connection Hang
by weswitt from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AH0N)
I'm struggling to get a working NFS server/client. I have the server up and running as well as the client bits installed.
On the client a "showmount -e" works and responds quickly. However when I try to mount the mount command runs for a very long time and eventually times out. I get this: "mount.nfs: Connection timed out". If I run the mount command on the server then it completes as expected.
What can I do to diagnose this and make it work?
