I've looked at the only server we have connected through NFS and it is
fat dumb and happy. I looked at other log(this machine and others) and
this is the only machine that got the error. I also did a netstat -a on
all machines and didn't see 2049,so obviously that is the wrong command.
I was able to ping all servers. 
Thanks

NFS supports both TCP and UDP connections, but the NFS server has to
have 
indicated its willingness to use TCP.  If it doesn't do that, then the 
client will use UDP.

If you can ping the mount server from the guest, then IP connectivity is

present and the problem is not in the wires, virtual or otherwise.
There 
could be firewall interference.

Check the NFS server to see if it has a TCP listen up on port 2049.  Do 
the console logs of previous logons of the same server show the same 
message?  I.e. is the really a new problem?
