Look at "man exports".  You need to use the "insecure" option on the export 
entry to get it to accept any port instead of "secure" ports (<1024).

So something like:

/common 192.168.2.17(rw,insecure)

would allow 192.168.2.17 to mount /common read/write from an insecure port.

If you're not using an /etc/exports, something like

exportfs -o rw,insecure 192.168.2.17:/common

should work.
