Hi all,


  I have the following problem. I have moved my disk with Fbsd 3.3 onto a diff 
machine with exactly the same network interface on both machines de0.

However when I am trying to do mount on the machines NFS responds with

NFS Portmap: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out

When I ask people what does NFS depend on between client and servers I get the 
response of only IP address. So since the IP address is the same I am puzzled 
as to why there is port map failure.

Could anyone enlighten on the reason of why this happens?

BTW when I ping the ping works ok as well as telnet does


Theo
