[Cooker] 7.2 cannot do nfs mounts

[Ron Stodden]

After installing 2 Mandrake 7.2 (custom, development) installations I
am amazed to discover that
nfs mounts do not work (RPC: timed out) between them or to Mandrake
7.1 partitions. 

portmap, nfs, mountd daemons are running.  nfs_utils and nfs-utils-
clients are installed.

This is quite serious.  What to do?
