Ok, start up YaST2 from the shell, like this: kdesu yast2
That will put you in the root mode automatically without having to enter your root password for each module you want to use. Once it opens, go to Network Services> NFS Client or Server. Start the one you want to setup. Your next window should have the Open port for firewall. Also, you can add the directories you want to work with from your server side. This is Client of course. You need to specify the directories on your server first though. You will also find the open port for firewall there too.

Hi there Lee! I don't have the "Open port for firewall" option in my YAST. I have SuSE 9.0 installed.
:-(

so I tried opening all of the above mentioned ports and still no go. I can only get a connection if I turn the firewall off.

Ok, Dan, One more try, but let's attack the problem through the firewall instead. Again, open YaST2, using the method I described before and go to the Security and Users>Firewall module. This helps you setup SuSEfirewall2 and should provide you with the tools to get the NFS ports open. Referring back to my 9.0 Admin manual, I couldn't find anything in the NFS section, but looked at the firewall section. That's where I remembered one could setup for different services, etc. to give others access to certain things. Now I can't confirm this will help, as I haven't or needed to go in this direction.
HI Lee. Thanks for your input. NFS is not one of the services that can be allowed in YAST. I have actually given up and switched my SuSEfirewall off now :-( I have a hardware firewall in the router, so I guess that I will just have to relie upon that. Regards, Dan
I think it should help though as not that much has changed here from 9.0 to 9.2. Time to update? ;o)
luck, Lee
