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.
