HI there all. Snowy weather over here in Denmark. What's the weather like where you are?
I have been trying to setup a NFS server and a NFS client this afternoon. Two linux machines. I can get it to work via YAST on both machines but only if I DEACTIVATE the firewall on the server. (there is no firewall running on the client, though I'd to set that up as well at some point.) I have been surfing the net trying to find out what ports to open and have discovered that the NFS ports are dynamic. I tried opening ports 111, 2049 as well as 2100:2499 and 600:1399 but still without success. The client can only connect to the server if the firewall is off.
Any ideas? Sorry, this is probably just a stupid newbie question! Hope you can help.

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. regards, Lee -- --- KMail v1.7.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!"
