timeout nfs & vnc

Post by atheist »

hello,

when trying to mount an nfs share on my home server i always get a timeout. same goes for vncviewer. the syntax of my mount command are the same as they are on my other gutsy laptop, and it works there. is there some setting here i've forgotten?

thanks,

-steve
