Try the following:

        client$ rpcinfo -p server

Do you see mountd? if not, RPC is being blocked (or portmap isn't
running). Make sure portmap is running on the server, and that the
connection isn't being rejected by /etc/hosts.deny (try putting "ALL:
ALL" in /etc/hosts.allow), and that the UDP packets aren't being blocked
by a firewalling ruleset (port 111, 2048, etc)

If you see mountd, try the following:

        client$ showmount -e server

Do you see the exported filesystems? If not, fix any typos in
/etc/exports, restart your nfs services, and try again.

        /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

Is everyone in the list? If not, what about the client? If showmount
doesn't show an appropriately exported filesystem, fix your /etc/exports
file and bounce your mountd:

        $ exportfs -a

Let us know where things stop working... then we can debug further.
