[NTLUG:Discuss] SuSE and nfs

[Fred]

I am running suse 9.1 on one box (2.6 kernel) and suse 8.2 (2.4
kernel) on another. The 8.2 is wifi to a 4-port router, the 9.1 is
wired to the same router. They are 192.168.1.102 and 192.168.1.100,
respectively. 

I set up the nfs server on the 9.1 box with the yast tool which seems
to have put everything in the right places (/etc/exports, for ex). I
then set up nfs client on the 8.2 box... or tried to. Here's the
problem: the browse feature on the client setup only shows itself
(192.168.1.102) and does not show the 9.1 box. 

I verified that the nfs ports (2049) were open on the 9.1 box. 

Also, I set up the nfs server as 192.168.1.100, the server directory
as /tmp (to test with since it is global readable) and /mnt as the
directory to mount on the client box. The entry in 8.1 box /etc/fstab
looks ok:
192.168.1.100:/tmp      /mnt    nfs     defaults 0 0
 
but it won't mount. In fact, it just hangs and will eventually time
out with a can't connect message.

I can ssh from 8.2 to 9.1. Likewise, I can ping 9.1. So what am I
doing wrong? 

Thanks,
Fred
