Unable to mount from various locations
I set up a ReadyNAS NV+ at the office. I'm running x86 Fedora Core 13 on my laptop. In the office, I'm not on the same router as the NAS system. The command below mounts the system just fine.
mount -v -t nfs -o nfsvers=3,addr=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,rw,nosuid,intr XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:/c/backup/ /mnt/nas/
The odd thing is when I go home the same command will not mount the nas system. Is there something about the NAS system (iptables or some other filter) that might be stopping it. Any thoughts or information I can provide?

- How are you connecting to the NAS from home? Is the NAS still in the office, and if so, are you going through VPN?
- Both at work and home are the same. Same laptop at work and home. No VPN is being used.
- Are you bringing the NAS home with you or is the NAS still at the office when you're trying to access it from home?
The NAS doesn't move. I'm trying to access it from the same laptop. When the laptop is at work I can mount it fine. At home it will not mount. I can ping it from home. As I mentioned in the original post, I am not on the same subnet at work as the NAS is.ewok wrote: Are you bringing the NAS home with you or is the NAS still at the office when you're trying to access it from home? - Is the NAS behind a firewall or is it out in the open on the Internet? What happens when you try to mount it from home?
It is not behind a firewall.ewok wrote: Is the NAS behind a firewall or is it out in the open on the Internet? What happens when you try to mount it from home?
