Dear All,
I am new to networking and I have just two system to connect. They are
connected to each other and ADSL modem through a network switch. I use
fedora core 4 at both systems.
1. I assigned 192.168.1.10 to one system naming it primary.grajesh.in
and the another 192.168.1.20 as secondary.grajesh.in. This was done
using desktop>sytemsettings>network.
2. I added /home/rajesh/Documents to be exported using
desktop>sytemsettings>serversettings>nfs.
3. I have added the above addresses to /etc/hosts file and
/etc/hosts.allow file too.
4. I have added 192.168.1.xx:/home/rajesh/Documents /net   nfs rw 0 0 to
the /etc/fstab file also.
But when I boot, I get the following error:
"mount to nfs server '192.168.1.xx' failed: server is down"
Where is the problem? I tried to disable firewall but no avail. Can some
one help me, please. I tried reading online help, but they seem too
complex to me. Is there any way out? I prefer keeping firewall on and if
possible, selinux in enforcing mode too ;-)
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rajesh
