Description William Kenney 2013-03-13 20:42:37 CET

Boot any of the Live-CD/DVD on a LAN that contains a confirmed working NFS server.
On my test system the HD is turned off.

Default setting:
MCC -> Security -> Set up your personal firewall -> defaults to "Everything" checked

Then do:

MCC -> Network Sharing -> Access NFS shared drives and diretories -> Search servers

nfs-utils is preinstalled and running on the live media. Launching a
"Search servers" will result in an endless wait for the NFS server on
the LAN being listed as available.

Simply executing the following proces:

MCC -> Security -> Set up your personal firewall -> uncheck then recheck "Everything"

Then rerun:

MCC -> Network Sharing -> Access NFS shared drives and diretories -> Search servers

The available NFS servers on the LAN will be listed and setting up the share can proceed.

If you install from the Live-CD/DVD this condition will be transferred to the install.
If you install from the Classical DVD this is not a problem.

first is always shorewall stopped ? 
we seems to have a bug in drakfirewall https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9329

maybe the workaround fix this too ?

How can I stop shorewall?

Comment 4 Manuel Hiebel 2013-03-13 22:46:23 CET

systemctl status shorewal.service give you the status 
          stop                    for stopping it

(or with service )

results of shorewall service test - status, stop

Turning off shorewall did not help.

Comment 6 Dave Hodgins 2013-03-14 04:09:45 CET

Instead of stopping shorewall, try just using the command (as root), 
shorewall clear

That indeed worked. Once "shorewall clear" was executed the MCC found
the NFS share and continued to install the necessary code to set up
the NFS dirtectory. Testing was done with Live-CD 32-bit installed
on a USB thumb drive on real hardware. I'll assume it'll work on
all the other Live media.

Comment 8 Manuel Hiebel 2013-03-15 01:18:26 CET

but if you have some shorewall rules, and if it stopped it works no ?

seems really a dup of above bug
