    mount:RPC:Remote System Error: No route to host

    I am using redhat 9. I have setup my linux box to be a samba-pdc/NFS/Cups print server. I was able to setup NFS and Samba-pdc beforehand and it was running successfully until now...I was able to setup Cups Print server in my linux box successfully but when i tried mounting the exported directory from server...i get this error...mount: RPC: Program not registered. So i tried restarting NFS daemons. I used rpcinfo -p option to check if the daemons are running. But still i get the same error. Ive checked my /etc/fstab and rebooted. I also rechecked the NFS Server and i see that all the daemons are running. Ive also checked /etc /exports, /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.deny. But still i cant mount from my client machines. Can anybody help me? I am quite confused why all of a sudden it isnt working. I havent made any changes to the config files.

    Are your network connections good? Both machines have an IP and can ping each other?

    If you haven't touched any of the nfs config files, have you re-configured you firewall recently?

    I can ping both of my computers IP. I havent configured the firewall just yet. When i restarted all of the NFS daemons...starting the NFS services takes up a lot of time to restart. What is wrong? i cant seem to think of other reasons why...

    Check your log files. Restart the server, then immediately (as root) do:
    Code:
    tail /var/log/syslog
    See if any NFS-related messages show up.
    Scotty: Captain, we din' can reference it!
    Kirk: Analysis, Mr. Spock?
    Spock: Captain, it doesn't appear in the symbol table.
    Kirk: Then it's of external origin?
    Spock: Affirmative.
    Kirk: Mr. Sulu, go to pass two.
    Sulu: Aye aye, sir, going to pass two.
