firewall hell...

[Stephen Adler]

Good observation Matt. The host or server is my desktop in my office 
which has my home directory. The client is my gateway server in my 
basement. My desktop is running fedora 14, my gateway server in the 
basement is running red hat enterprise linux 5. So it could be that the 
client, in this case my server in the basement, is trying to mount my 
home directory using nfs3? uggg...
