I have tried mounting a remote filesystem using several configurations (ie,
FreeBSD to FreeBSD, FreeBSD to SCO, and SCO to FreeBSD).  I use the following
command:

mount -t nfs remote:/ /mnt

and I receive the following message:

nfs: can't access /: Address already in use

It doesn't seem to matter what remote path I try, whether it exists or not.
For example, the following:

mount -t nfs remote:/asdasdsa /mnt

gives me the same Address already in use error.  Does anyone know what could be
causing this?  I have nfsd running on the server as well as mountd.

Thanks,


John
