Have you loaded nfs-common-utils? What does 'rpcinfo -p' on the server say? At least rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd should have been loaded. Also did I discover that sometimes portmapper is not load automatically, so by doing: /etc/init.d/portmapper restart /etc/init.d/nfs-common restart /etc/init.d/nfs-server restart and rpcinfo -p should display something like: 10000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 10000 2 ucp 111 portmapper 389 2 tcp ??? mountd 389 2 ucp ??? mountd 385 2 tcp ??? nfsd 385 2 ucp ??? nfsd I cannot remember exactly, just check the most right colom.
