wow - don't know where to fix this. You must be using some utility to
create this - does mepis create complex tables such as this by default?

My first thought is that there is a switch to turn this off for testing
and back on again - and then a 'configuration' utility to allow for
adding new ports.

a very quick check in forums at mepis shows two common utilities, guard
dog and firestarter. My guess is that you are using guard dog.

>From Mepis Documentation Wiki

What is Guarddog? From the website:

Guarddog is a firewall configuration utility for Linux systems. Guarddog
is aimed at two groups of users. Novice to intermediate users who are
not experts in TCP/IP networking and security, and those users who don't
want the hastle of dealing with cryptic shell scripts and
ipchains/iptables parameters.

Main Menu --> System --> Security --> Guarddog

Can you get there and turn it off momentarily?

Then you should be able to ping the Mepisbox from the Mandrakebox

Then I suppose you could allow NFS (port 2049) from 192.168.0.100

Perhaps something similar going on in Mandrakebox (firewall)

I think you can spare yourself some reading effort here...problem seems
to be firewall
