You probably need to punch some holes in your firewalls. In fact you 
will pretty much need to allow the two machines to exchange information 
on any port they want, since the RedHat portmapper can put NFS 
communication on nearly any port. You will probably want to read about 
securing NFS in the RedHat Linux Security Guide.
