firewall problem?

Try disabling your firewall and see if it works. If it does, then here is my note about how to do make NFS work through a firewall.

HOW TO SET UP A FIREWALL THAT ALLOWS NFS

Create the file "/etc/sysconfig/nfs" and add the following contents:

STATD_PORT=4001 LOCKD_TCPPORT=4002 LOCKD_UDPPORT=4002 MOUNTD_PORT=4003

Append the following to the file "/etc/services":

rquotad 4004/tcp # rpc.rquotad tcp port rquotad 4004/udp # rpc.rquotad udp port

Restart the nfs services

From there, open these ports -> 111:tcp, 111:udp, 2049:tcp, 2049:udp,

4001:tcp, 4001:udp, 4002:tcp, 4002:udp, 4003:tcp, 4003:udp, 4004:tcp, 4004:udp
