Hello, I have a Pentium 133 running 2.2.8-RELEASE (mentor) and a 486dx2 running 2.2.7-RELEASE (triton). Both are connected with a laplink cable. Both machines can talk to eachother via FTP and telnet, but not via NFS. I have set up the /etc/exports file on both machines and it should work on an ordinary network. Each /etc/exports file look like this: / -alldirs <name-of-the-other-machine> /home -alldirs <name-of-the-other-machine> /usr -alldirs <name-of-the-other-machine> /var -alldirs <name-of-the-other-machine> /tmp -alldirs <name-of-the-other-machine> The /etc/hosts file on the Pentium looks like this: 127.0.0.1 mentor.cs.gtf.ol.no mentor localhost.cs.gtf.ol.no localhost 10.0.0.2 triton.cs.gtf.ol.no triton 10.0.0.1 mentor-lp0.cs.gtf.ol.no mentor-lp0 The Pentium's lp0 interface is configured with "inet 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2" in /etc/rc.conf. The /etc/hosts file on the 486 looks like this: 127.0.0.1 triton.cs.gtf.ol.no triton localhost.cs.gtf.ol.no localhost 10.0.0.1 mentor.cs.gtf.ol.no mentor 10.0.0.2 triton-lp0.cs.gtf.ol.no triton-lp0 The 486's lp0 interface is configured with "inet 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.1" in /etc/rc.conf. Is it not possible to use NFS over a laplink cable? Both machines have enabled NFS server & client, rpc.statd and mountd. I get a message on reboot saying it could not register udp with the portmapper. I later turned off udp on both machines, so NFS is only provided over tcp, but this turned into a similar diagnostic; can not register tcp with the portmapper. Should I run a gateway or router on one or both machines? The BIOS on the Pentium have configured the parallel port as EPP, should it be set to "compatible" to be compatible with the parallel port on the 486? Should I use the link0 (CLPIP) option? Is there something I'm doing wrong? Also attempts to send email from one machine to the other does not work either. Can you help me with the above problems or tell where I can get help? Yours sincerely, Trond Endrestol. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
