Hi, I don't know what the problem in your case is, but just a few thoughts: - make sure your linux box isn't providing NFSv4, as FreeBSD does only support for v2 and 3, - to test and whether the nfs server is receiving you use "showmount -e lg", it's quicker - yes, you need a portmapper running on the client too and apparently you have, its that sunrpc thingy - read mount_nfs(8) ;) I hope that helps a bit..
