Me again, you guys getting sick of me yet? I have been working on getting NFS set up between two of my linux machines. I think I am really close, but have run into a snag. I can do a /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p 65.xx.20.xx from my laptop to my server, and get the reply:<br>

ok, so nfs, mountd, rquotad and portmapper are there, so I should be able to mount my exports right? Well, I cant, and I think it is because nfs is running udp instead of TCP. This is just a guess, please correct me if I am wrong. I am fairly confident that my /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow are correct on both machines (I am using the IP instead of computer name) and my /etc/exports is correct on the server. I have the firewall temp-disabled on both machines for the time being (next project Firewall Admin :) ). So my question is is it because nfs is running udp instead of TCP and if that is the case, where do I go to tell it to run TCP? I am doing this from the man pages and the linux how to's and I do not see any references to where I can change this. <br>
