    Well, more testing reveals that I have some underlying problem with
    either hardware, or how the hardware is handled by the kernel/drivers.
    One freshly-rebuilt RH9 system on a ASUS motherboard with a P3500MHz
    chip, 256MB RAM, and 3COM 3c590 Nic can mount NFS directories exported
    by a SFU 3.5 server with no problems - performs as expected. The
    original trouble unit, now a freshly-rebuilt RH9 system on a SuperMicro
    370DL3 motherboard with a P3900MHz chip, 512MB ECC RAM, and onboard
    Intel 82559 Nic gets the timeout message. I can't use showmount on that
    system to view exported directories on remote systems while the ASUS
    system works flawlessly. Thinking it was an issue with the onboard Nic
    on the SuperMicro unit, I disabled the onboard and replaced with a 3C980
    Nic but go the exact same results. I'm not sure if it has something to
    do with the ServerWorks chipset on the motherboard or what, but I'm also
    finding that transfering files from my XP unit via SSH is very slow
    (10MB file takes 5 minutes with transfer rate of less than 100K on a
    100Mbit LAN connection) but only between the SuperMicro unit and my XP
    system. Lastly, both the ASUS and SuperMicro units can mount an exported
    share on our Snap Server. I'm lost. (Opens office windows...sends
    SuperMicro unit plunging to its death in the parking lot below). Problem
    solved!

    Okay, so I worked on the RH 9 box a little bit and ended up getting it
    to mount. Thinking there was some configuration problem on the FC1 box,
    I reinstalled from scratch. Still get the same timeout message. Does
    anyone have any idea where I can go to find out what has changed between
    RH9 and FC1 in terms of NFS defaults/settings/functionality?

    Thanks,

    No firewall is active on either unit (ipchains/iptables is disabled) and
    I know that there's no corrupt package because I can mount an exported
    share on our Snap Server.

    Firewall on the linux box? Port 111 I think.

    Wanted to drop an email to the list to see if anyone could help me out.
    I downloaded SFU 3.5 the other day in the hopes that I could use the NFS
    Server included to allow access to linux clients. Running Windows 2000
    Adv Srv with AD Native and Fedora Core 1. I've downloaded, installed and
    configured SFU for passwd-file PCNFS type User Name Mapping and it is
    properly mapping linux and windows user accounts. I cannot however mount
    any shares. I get a RPC timeout on the linux box while the Event Viewer
    on the windows machine says mount successful. If I send a rpcinfo
    broadcast message from the linux box, the windows server does not
    respond, however querying the host using rpcinfo -p <windows_machine>
    shows all of the processes running. If I try a rpcinfo broadcast from
    the windows machine it sees itself and using the rpcinfo -p
    <linux_machine> also sees the portmapper service. I have tried
    everything in the help documents, I even installed SFU on my XP
    professional machine and mapped local user accounts (instead of domain
    accounts) all with the same results - RPC timeout. I tried using a RH9
    client and got the same timeout message. I also tried every mount option
    in the world - nfsvers/hard/soft/rsize/wsize/nolock/noac and either got
    the timeout message or Server could not decode arguments message.
    Mounting from the XP box to the windows 2k box works. Does anyone have
    an suggestions or help to offer getting SFU 3.5 talking to FC1? Or,
    better yet, can someone recommend a low cost NFS server solution for
    windows that has the user name mapping functionality with an NFS server?

    Thanks,
