Re: Unable to connect to NFS Server - mountd crashing

["Mark A. Tagliaferro" <be_lak@yahoo.co.uk>]

Well I'll be darned.

This morning I've tried once again to solve things and lo and behold the error
has changed now!!!

Now I'm getting "RPC Error : Timed Out" when I try to mount and the NFS server
is managing to stay up.  I can't understand why though because the servers are
communicating otherwise.  Even "rpcinfo -p server" is working.
