NFS TCP Port

["Reuben D. Budiardja" <techlist voyager phys utk edu>]

Hello,
I just upgraded by workstation to RHEL 4. 

I have an NFS server running RHEL 3 with firewall. For this server, I open TCP 
port 111 and UDP (ref: [1] ) on the firewall to allow NFS clients to connect. 
Other machines running Redhat 9 can connect just fine with this setup to the 
NFS server.

However, when I try to connect using my RHEL 4, the firewall didnot allow me 
to get in. Checking the NFS server log and Redhat docs, I found that that 
RHEL 4 NFS client tries to connect via TCP, on different ports every attempt. 

How should I set the firewall if any new NFS connection use different TCP 
port ? 

If I completely remove my firewall, RHEL 4 NFS client can connect just find. 

[1] I use shorewall as a front-end for iptables. NFS 


Thanks for any help.
