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.
