openSUSE 12.3 64bit KDE

Under 12.2 the following command as root worked…

mount -o nolock 192.168.0.153:/mnt/hd /mnt/SERVER

…under 12.3 nothing happens and I don’t get an error report. All other conditions are identical, and when I…

# ping 192.168.0.153

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I forgot to mention the server in question (192.168.0.153) is configured as an NFS server running 12.2.

Problem solved. The wired server was configured to allow access to client 192.168.0.150 and the client IP had changed to 192.168.0.151 as a result of adding a wireless connection from a newly purchase notebook.

Glad it’s solved. If you get any similar problem in future there are two
things worth trying:

(1) repeat the mount command with the -v option to see what’s going wrong.

(2) Look in /var/log/messages on both client and server to see if
there’s an explanation there
