:Hi folks,
:
:I've been trying to accomplish the simple task of mounting filesystems
:from a central server 'hostA' onto a new client 'hostB'. the new client
:has a basic 3.3 'bin' distrib installed on it and I am trying to mount
:/usr/src & /usr/obj from hostA so that I can upgrade it.
:
:the problem is that the mounts hang and never succeed. i've added hostB to
:hostA's /etc/exports file of course. other machines are already mounting
:from /usr/src etc. from hostA with no problems.
:
:i've tried a different NIC, different machine and a 3.3-STABLE kernel with
:no luck.
:
:tcpdump on hostA :
:..

    Looks like a firewall to me.  Either a firewall in a router
    sitting between the hosts, or an ipfw setup sitting on one or the 
    other host.

:notice the icmp port unreachable msgs, yet on hostB:
:
:netstat -a :
:..
:udp        0      0 hostB.1018            hostA.nfsd   
:...
:Thanks,
:Cillian

    This is meaningless.  Since UDP is connectionless this is simply
    a placemark for what the machine wants to do, not for what it is
    able to do.
