NFS Mount to Server behind Firewall


I have recently moved a Fedora Core 6 workstaton to a new security zone behind a netscreen 25 firewall. This system was on the same subnet as the Redhat server and worked perfectly. As soon as I moved it to a new zone behind the firewall none of my nfs mounts will mount during startup. I have the policies between security zones wide open, so I know for a fact there is nothing blocking NFS. I can ping the server and client by name and IP address from each security zone. My policies are setup to allow anything right now, but still not able to mount.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks in Advance

You need to make a pinhole in the firewall. Open up port 2049. That is the port that nfs daemon uses.
