Most probable cause of a failure to mount a remote disk with a naive NFS
installation is a firewall problem. Try mounting the disk manually while
watching network traffic with ethereal or tcpdump. Don't be surprised if
you see a "connection refused" message from a computer that just made an
NFS request on the same port on which it is refusing to make the connection.
