rpc time outs

rpc time outs

[steven sagerian]

Hello,
Im trying to set up a simple nfs server for my home network, Ive got a 
old p2 system running Linux version 2.4.18-3. from my machine (waseca) I 
can get rpcinfo from both my machine and the server (oddly enough called 
"server" ;->).
but when I try to mount fs on server I get the following rpc time outs..
[root@waseca steven]# mount -t nfs server:/home/share /mnt/share
mount: RPC: Timed out

my exports file on server is simply one line..
/home/share waseca(rw,no_root_squash)

I can ping either machine from either host.

the /var/log/messages file on server says rpc.mountd authneticated mount 
request from waseca for /home/share

Every thing looks good..oh...one more bit..when I try to run rpcinfo 
from server (rpcinfo -p waseca) I get a "can contact mapper remote 
system error, connection refused".

Ok can anyone suggest a solution?

Thanks in advance...

Steve
