If so, disable it temporarily and see if it makes a difference. If so then it means you need to poke some holes in iptables so nfs can get through.

They are defined with the ip address. When I boot the Fedora machine it takes a long time for the nfs mounts to mount. After everything is up and running if I try to ls the shares it takes a long time too, and some times I see the following: nfs: server x.x.x.x not responding, still trying nfs: server x.x.x.x OK nfs: server x.x.x.x not responding, still trying nfs: server x.x.x.x OK and then the directory is listed. No both machine I have the following services up and running: nfs netfs nfslock portmap network I have asked on #fedora and was told that it is most likely a DNS issue but this i don't believe because the host lookup order is to first look in hosts file which all machines are defined. Does anyone know of any other place or places I need to look? Thnx -- Regards Robert Smile..... It increases your face value. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
