NFS from IXP1200 Linux to external Windows 2000 server
Hi, We are having difficulty trying to NFS-mount from the IXP1200 Linux client to our Windows 2000 server, and we'd like to know if anyone has succeeded in doing this. We've tried three different NFS servers on Windows 2000: (1) The OMNI NFS Server provided by Intel (2) The TrueGrid public domain NFS server (3) A demo version of nfsAxe from LabF The NFS client usually just hangs in the mount command, but sometimes the failure mode is for it to print the message: "nfs: server 172.16.2.14 not responding, still trying". Occasionally, the mount command will complete, but attempting to do an "ls" in the mounted directory will hang. We have also tried using an NFS server on Linux, but that doesn't change anything, so we suspect the problem is with the IXP1200 Linux download image. The image files (zImage and ramdisk_img.gz) provided with IXA SDK 2.01 are different than those provided with IXA SDK 2.0, but both fail the same way with regard to NFS mounting. If someone has succeeded in getting this to work, then at least we'll know that the problem is on our end. Regards, Dave

I did mount on the IXP card from a Linux NFS server. This was on the bridalveil board over the PCI though. Havent tried Windows. - Abhijeet
