Dan, When you setup the NFS server & client, did you check the entry for "Open port for firewall"?? I think that is suppose to take care of any firewall problems when running, doesn't it? This is all handled within YaST2 setup of both. I ask, because the one I most recently setup give me the same problems, until I checked that selection.
Hi Lee. I appreciate your feed back. Could you please be more specific. I didn't tick"Open port for firewall" - where do I find that in YAST? Regards, Dan
==============
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. :-( I ran this command: *> rpcinfo -p output: * program vers proto port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100024 1 udp 961 status 100024 1 tcp 964 status 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs 100021 1 udp 25426 nlockmgr 100021 3 udp 25426 nlockmgr 100021 4 udp 25426 nlockmgr 100021 1 tcp 20249 nlockmgr 100021 3 tcp 20249 nlockmgr 100021 4 tcp 20249 nlockmgr 100005 1 udp 976 mountd 100005 1 tcp 979 mountd 100005 2 udp 976 mountd 100005 2 tcp 979 mountd 100005 3 udp 976 mountd 100005 3 tcp 979 mountd 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.
