I'm assuming you have network access between the two systems. This can be proven by pinging one server from the other.
You might consider using the 'showmount' command from the client, which will tell you what filesystems can be exported. This is a good way to start debugging failed NFS mounts.
For instance: showmount -e my.nsf.server
will show available mounts. See showmount(8) for more details.
Also, if the client's IP has changed, you may need to update /etc/exports on the server.
And if all that fails... put the NFS server in a debug mode and look closely at the log files.

Gordon,
You need to be running portmapper on the local system, as well as the remote system.

As I posted to this list yesterday, I have been able to convert TCPIP communications on SLES8 under VM from VCTC over to Guest Lans.
I have Telnet, ssh, samba, ftp and apache all working happily with guest lans.
I can't seem to get nfs to mount a location on another (SLES7 with VCTC) server. This is a mount that worked before going to guest lans with the SLES8 server.
The error message I get when trying to do the NFS mount is
mount: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive
I had updated the following files to get guest lans to work /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-hsi0 /etc/sysconfig/network/routes /etc/modules.conf /etc/chandev.conf and also the following with the new IP address: /etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.allow
It looks like rpc isn't working right. I don't see anything in /etc/rpc (default from SLES8 install) that would be a problem. and if I do ps -ax | grep rpc I get 382 ? S 0:00 /sbin/rpc.statd 504 ? SW 0:00 [rpciod] 505 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
I'm sure I've just missed something somewhere. Anyone have any ideas?
