Greetings Mike,

Did you enable rpcbind on all your boxes or just the server? Is there
anything else to do on the server or client side?
Current status is that I have all my NFS services working (rpcinfo -p
server) on both the server & client. My firewall (server & client) has
ports 111, 2049, 4000, 4001, 4002 and 4003 configured and open for the
various nfs services. I can exportfs my shares but cannot mount them
on the client due to  timimg out. I am currently trying to configure
nfsvers=3.
Any other suggestions?
