I thought when it was mentioning that "NFS Portmap: RPC: Program not registered" that it was portmap related... I just didn't know how to go about fixing it.. It happens that on a few of the machines that I was trying to connect to, hosts.allow wasn't letting me use portmap... So I have managed to fix that prob... I've only got one server left that is posing a problem for me, and its doing very, very weird things... I think completely unrelated to NFS, mount and portmap... Thanks for the advice, Pete.
