NFS-Mount issue

Hi,

While i try to mount the NFS file system on the client linux server i am getting the error message as

Can you ping the host?

No route to host literally means just that - the client is unable to reach the server.

I can ping the host vice versa.. the ping output is ok.. Wondering wat is causing the issue.

Is your quote verbatim, i.e. does your mount command contain those <> s?

May I ask the obvious question:

You really mean 'hostname' here? If so, that name will need to be 'resolved' to an <ip> address for this to work.

So when you say that you can ping okay, does

 
ping <hostname>

work?

If that fails but

 
ping <ip address>

works, then name resolution is the problem.
