My FBSD 2.0 box doesn't reply. It generates an entry in the log which reads -------- Jun 25 09:59:24 sam portmap[28467]: connect from 194.9.12.33 to callit(nfs): request not forwarded -------- Can anybody explain why it's not responding to the request and how I can make it respond. Other Unix and NT boxes on the network do respond. Bye, Mike ---
