Re: nfs mounting problem

Thanks for your reply, Yes portmap is running and when i give  netstat -an 
| grep ":111 "  this server shows the below:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:111                 0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:111                 0.0.0.0:*

Thanks & Regards

is portmap actually running?
try ps -e | grep portmap

if it is

netstat -an | grep ":111 "

should report something like this.

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:*
