Hello thanks for the reply, but I don't think it worked! See if you can 
mount our NFS server, the address is 192.217.111.4 and the dir is /usr 
I did not set up passwords or anything so you could probably get in, on 
that note is it like an ftp server and accept anonymous connections. 
Any other suggestions on how to mount it?

Another note is that I tried showmount and got this error
RPC: Port mapper failureCan't do Exports rpc
thanks
