Connecting to NFS V3 share

Connecting to NFS V3 share
Hello!

I have an Indy running IRIX 5.3. I'd like to connect it to an NFS share hosted by my NAS, but I am unable to connect to it (either by its name or IP address). I can see in my router control panel that the Indy is connected, but no more than that. I know at one point I succeeded in getting an O2 running 6.5 to see the share, but next time I tried to do the same thing I was unsuccessful. Clearly I have forgotten the arcane commands to do this. I'm connected to the share in Windows, so I know it is at least enabled.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

EDIT: I'm sorry that there isn't much information here, but I don't really know what information to give. Networking is not my jam.

RE: Connecting to NFS V3 share
The Indy should mount the NAS share ideally, not the other way around. IRIX-based NFS requires that rpcbind is running, and that NFSv3 is specifically allowed. IRIX 5.3 though is very buggy, so it may not work with that version. I've used 6.2-6.5.30 successfully for both Solaris and FreeBSD-based NAS shares though.

For server config details, you can check this page:

https://wiki.irixnet.org/nfs

On IRIX, NFS mounts are done in the /etc/fstab file. Details are in techpubs manuals, one is here: http://retrogeeks.org/sgi_bookshelves/SG...149-PARENT

If you need any specific help, please dump the network configuration (IPs, LANs, and information about your NAS) and we can help you troubleshoot it further.
