mount : RPC : program not registered (error on Mandrake9.0)

[mcrae]

New problem,
(...this is what happens when we agree to teach a "new" distro, so my own fault..!)
Normally use RedHat7.2 to give class for Linux+ and higher...
No probs.
Now agreed to try out Mandrake9.0, which, with an EVERYTHING install has some of the older useful rpm's missing. Actually sometimes I wonder at the sense in this, because RH8 also changes too many things,
e.g. 's
- "linuxconf" made into a total GUI (pain) on Mandrake9
- "ifconfig" taken out of the "workstation" after install on RedHat8
etc.

current scenario: NFS problem
RH72 already mounted (seeing) an nfs vol/share on mandrake9 box. Working quite happily one way, but not the other way around....!??? Hmmmm. Mandrake gives the error above.

- nfs service restarted on both
- /etc/exports edited on both
- /etc/fstab edited on both
- netstat shows correct ports listenning on both
- redhat works, mandrake not

OK yes, before someone suggests I read something on the web,...I usually try all of these things before writing in. Have also been to Mandrake's site, still awaiting an answer.

Muchas Gracias in advance, Marc.

The only time I have got this error was when my NFS service was not started - but as you say, you have started it!
