Hi Don,
Try typing the error message you get - 'mount: RPC: Program not
registered' into google.com - this is usually a useful way of getting
info, because most questions have probably been dealt with before and
have been archived somewhere.
Seems likely that your problem is - the portmapper isn't running (NB, it
has to start before the other NFS stuff so it can register the daemons
that are started), mountd isn't running, nfsd isn't running, or the
computer you're trying to mount on has been blocked or not allowed in
/etc/hosts.* or something like that. I think something along the lines
of the last is most likely, because you said that you can mount using a
different machine.
Have a look at
<http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/NFS-HOWTO.html#s7>
for a checklist to run through that will hopefully fix your problem.
HTH,
Tom
