I have two machines, first one running RedHat enterprise linux 5 and second one running RedHat Enterprise Linux 4. I have connected these two machines via LAN. I have been attempting to set up NFS (Network file system), hence the first machine has been made the server and the second machine the client. The IP address of the server is 192.168.1.2 and the IP address of the client machine is 192.168.1.1. On the server machine I have written the following in /etc/exports file /home/ram/experiment 192.168.1.0/24(rw). When I attempt to mount the server directory from the client machine using the following command mount -t nfs -o rw 192.168.1.2:/home/ram/experiment /home/ivv/test I get the following error (on the client machine) mount:mount to NFS server '192.168.1.2' failed: System error: No route to host.

Please help me rectify this problem.

this question was merged with setting up NFS (network file system) on gnu/linux(Red Hat Enterprise Edition) because it is an exact duplicate of that question.
