I'm using Linux Redhat 7.1 KDE to mount to another volume reside on another Linux Redhat 7.1
KDE.I had set the volume on the target computer as a exported NFS filesystem using 'Netconf'
and later in my workstation I tried to mount the targeted volume using the Linuxconf .
However It comes these error message
Archiving /etc/fstab -remfs,version office
Archiving /etc/fstab -local,version home-office
executing /bin/mount -t nfs -o exec,dev,fuid, rw acer:/home/acer /mnt/share
*mount rpc:unable to receive;errno=connection refused
*return 32

/mnt/share is my valid mountpoints.
please advise.

The problem is that access to the share was denied. You need to make sure that the user you're trying to mount as exists on the other machine as well.

Sounds to me like portmapper isn't running. Type rpcinfo -p and look to see if portmapper, nfs, and mountd are running. If not, they need to be.

HTH,
Eric
