This is a firewall issue. If I turn off the firewall everything works. NFS and SMB are marked as trusted services, but it seems that is not enough. Which ports need to be opened to use these services? I googled and followed that advice, which didn't work, so now I have to ask here.
But surely lots of people are using NFS on their local LAN without worrying about the firewall?
I know less than anyone else contributing to this thread about NFS, but I occasionally find if I have tried to mount on the wrong LAN (I have two WiFi LANs) that I have to give the IP address of the server, viz "sudo mount 192.168.3.1:/common /common".
I actually use the shorewall firewall, but surely the standard firewall should allow any local LAN connection?
