On Monday 22 April 2002 07:40 pm, you said this stuff:

> to each other via /etc/hosts.
> Machine A has /filename MachineB(ro) in its /etc/exports
> file and showmount -e indicates it is exporting properly to MachineB.
> (I stopped and started portmap and nfs)

> gives the following error:
> "mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused"

> Why is Machine A refusing the connection while showmount

Make sure you don't have any ipchains (or iptables) rules that are dropping 
the packets. 

Also, your export list should show exported *directories*, not specific files.
