Can you resolve testserver.coda to an IP address, dig -t a testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu Can you ping testserver.coda (i.e. is it even reachable), ping -c 1 testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu Can you send packets to the codasrv port and receive the replies, rpc2ping testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu (I think rpc2ping is actually part of the coda-server package). Can you get the volume information for the root volume, getvolinfo testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu / If that all works, then the client _should_ be able to resolve and mount the root of the testserver.coda realm, if any of these fail then that would indicate that there is a DNS, routing or firewall problem in the path between your client and testserver.coda.
