Internet Connection Sharing and NFS route problem?

dtw · 2006-12-12 08:41:28

My new box is yet to gets its wireless card so following the wiki I have painlessly set up ICS - this works great. The ICS host connects to my wireless router on wlan0 and to the ICS client on eth0. The ICS client attaches on eth0.

From the ICS client I can ping eth0 and wlan0 on the host and also the router but I can't access the NFS shares on the host - should I be able to access them on both wlan0 and eth0 - even if I bring down wlan0? I'm guessing I need another iptables rule...

I'm not quite sure I understand whats happening here.... So here is a "diagram":

ICS cli --- eth0 ---> ICS host --- wlan0 ---> router ---> internet

Yeah? From this, there is no reason for wlan0 to affect NFS from cli to host, assuming everything has been set up properly with the routing tables.

If you disable all iptables stuff (which is how I'm assuming you have the routing working), does NFS work? Have you set up your /etc/exports properly?

Can I see your iptables stuff as well?

And on a side note: I recently chucked NFS in favour of sshfs, it's much better for me personally. Considered that?

Your running NFS on your internal subnet i.e between the host and the client, so wlan0 is irrelevant. Do you get any log entries on the host when you try to mount the share on the client? Post the hosts' /etc/exports and the mount command or fstab entry you're using on the client.

Completely OT - I know "Internet Connection Sharing" is an accurate desciption of what's going on, but it just makes me think "Windows....Uuughh."

checked portmap is running on the client too? That one bit me every time i tried to setup NFS..... and I never saw it documented anywhere.

If you check "man nfsd", it goes on about RPC. Maybe they are assuming that you know RPC wants portmap?

That's where I used to go for NFS setup. Then I started thinking I knew it all, and sure enough, I forgot to run portmap on the client. :oops:
