First I would like to thank all the people who took the time to respond to my emails. Your time is much appreciated. Unfortunately, however, I did not manage to solve the problem. I can rlogin from the old equipment - SG or Linux - onto the new serva but could not mount NFS file systems. I can only guess it is something to the version of NFS, but another Solaris 9 box we have works fine, so it remains a mystery. We are now looking at phasing out the old kit instead. Thanks again for all your help.

I thought I was onto the solution with the output from the snoop command, but it turned out the server was replying with another name - it is a long story why - but this is not the cause of the problem. I re-ran the snoop (results below) with the server called bacall mounting ing a directory called junk, and the snoop below shows the response from the server. The directory did not mount.

Then try the nfs mount and see what the output is. UDP is connectionless, TCP is connection orientated Your version of nfs might be different than the other machine. They might be using nfs version 2, udp, while your using nfs version 3, tcp. Since the protocol isn't the same, you won't be able to mount. IPv6 information as well as udp/tcp info is on the site mentioned below. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ALLEN, David" <David.ALLEN@eur.crowncork.com> Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2004 15:06:27 +0100 To: Alan Pae <alanpae@mail.com> Subject: RE: NFS mount problem > Thanks for your comments. > > Sorry, you are pushing the boundrys of my knowledge!
