Cannot mount remote file systems

[RufusBuddy]

I need to mount remote file systems to a local server with mount-points already created. I have shared the file systems on the remote server no problem. I can telnet to both servers no problem. Ping is turned off on the remote file system.

Now on the local server when I try to mount these remote file systems, it takes a long time and then I get the following message:

RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Timed out

If someone might have an idea - it will be greatly appreciated. Thank You

You have to start nfs server subsystems.
Run folloing commnad on system whose file system you are trying to export.
#/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

If you do have your correct nfs daemons running, check to
see whether the ( rpc.mountd ) process is running on the
remote server that you are exporting the filesystems from.

Thanks for your information. I recently heard from our network staff on both networks and they have to open some ports (or something like that) to allow that type of access.

Thanks again
