Does anyone have any experience successfully setting up a NFS export? I tried googling for a howto and followed the steps (http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/ ), but my client keeps saying "server is down" when I try to mount the nfs share. I made sure the firewall was down on the server, and "rpcinfo -p" shows nfs chugging along happily along with mountd and status and portmap.

Contents of /etc/exports:

/usr/local 192.168.1.103(rw)

Contents of /etc/hosts.deny:

ALL:ALL

Contents of /etc/hosts.allow:

ALL: 192.168.1.103

My client machine of course being at 192.168.1.103. On the client, "cat /proc/filesystems" shows nfs happily supported. I'm also running all services I can think of to do with nfs including portmap. From the client, an "rpcinfo -p 192.168.1.129" (server) shows everything it shows on the server box. But still, every time I type "mount 192.168.1.129:/usr/local /mnt/nfs" it comes back instantly with "mount to NFS server '192.168.1.129' failed: server is down".

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
