I have FreeBSD 2.2.6 running on my desktop machine here at work. It is
on one of the two subnets and I am trying to nfs mount our file server
and it hangs forever. (FreeBSD can't even reboot. It hangs right after
syncing the disks.) I ran tcpdump & tcpshow and found out that someone
is messed up: either Sun or FreeBSD.
A few (faked to protect the guilty) details:
Client:
Hostname: client
OS: FreeBSD 2.2.6
IP1: 192.168.2.10 (client)
Server:
Hostame: server
IP1: 192.168.1.1 (server)
IP2: 192.168.2.1 (xxx-server)
Yes, the server is also configured to forward. It is our "router".
If I mount with:
mount xxx-server:/home /mnt
It works just fine.When I try to mount with:
mount server:/home /mnt
It hangs forever.
By looking at the packets I can see the following conversation:
Source ip/port Dest ip/port
192.168.2.10/971 192.168.1.1/111 portmapper request
192.168.2.1/111 192.168.2.10/971 portmapper reply
This goes on forever.
It looks like the sun is replying using the wrong interface ip address
and freebsd is ignoring it.
Who is wrong? (I think Sun) How do I get it fixed? How do I get
freebsd to accept the bad data? Hummingbird NFS on the NT PCs here
works just fine with bad responses.
Using the "xxx-server" name is not a good option. I am trying to use amd
and it can't differentiate when someone types "ls /h/server/home/me".
