Hi,

I can ping from my machine to another such as;
ping dell
then I got replied. I also can telnet to the dell box from my machine. Both are RH. and I installed RH7.0 on my machine and dell has 6.1.

When I tried to mount, I tyoped;
mount dell:/usr2/personal /mnt/personal
Then I got
Mount: PRC: Time out.

The Dell is runing Samba so from another machine(NT box) can see and use it(cp files...) So I am for sure I have a problem with my machine.

Thanks much for reading my problem.
Have a good day,

Sunny,

Several things you could look at to make sure your machine has NFS client running and all necessary communication ports open. First make sure statd and lockd processes are running. If they are not you can start them with '/usr/lib/nfs/lockd &' and'/usr/lib/nfs/statd &'. Then make sure your NFS services are open. In /etc/services you need to have four lines:
nfsd 2049/udp
nfsd 2049/tcp
lockd 4045/udp
lockd 4045/tcp
Finally the most likely problem based on your error message is corrected in /etc/rpc. This file should have one relevant line
mountd 100005.

Hope this helps

Charles
