*shrug*  Sure?!  Why not? ;)  Like I said, it worked previously, and I know I didn't
mess with hosts.allow between the time it /was/ working and now, but I'll try it anyway...

[ tries it ]

Hrm... I added it, and then restarted both "nfs-user-server" and "inetd"
(in /etc/init.d/ under Debian).  Still getting the timeout...

For the host in question, I get back:

   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100003    2   udp   2049  nfs
    100003    2   tcp   2049  nfs
    100005    1   udp    630  mountd
    100005    2   udp    630  mountd
    100005    1   tcp    633  mountd
    100005    2   tcp    633  mountd

$ rpcinfo -u the_host nfs 
program 100003 version 2 ready and waiting


("nfsd" was reported as an "unknown service";  looking at that, I tried guessing that maybe
hosts.allow should have "nfs", not "nfsd".  So, I tried it; still no luck.)


Before I go much further... is there any chance at all that this could be a kernel
issue on mountING system?  (The one trying to make the NFS connection to the mountED server)


Thx for your help!
