I am attempting to connect a client to a working NFS server, but continue to get the error "clnt_create: RPC: Unknown host". I can successfully mount the NFS shares, but I can't use 'showmount' to get a listing. On another client, I can successfully issue the 'showmount' command. The only difference I can see between an 'rpcinfo' call on both clients is that the non-working one is missing the 'nlockmgr' service - both have 'portmapper' and 'status' services. I've tried searching online and the only resolutions I could find was editing the /etc/hosts file, but after doing that I still get the same error. I'm lost and have no clue how to proceed. Been working on this for several days with no end in sight. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, Dave
