Hi Guys The logs show that rpc.statd or -o nolock are the answer, I thought that using openSUSE 11.1 would not have this kind of problem. Both install and autoyast are getting there info from this server, which for testing only is allowing any of my subnets to nfs mount the folders. I will try the nolock option as rpc.statd is rather weak.
