Unable to mount NFS share

I have a server running rhel3 that is on the same subnet as my
workstation (ie, no router). It is configured with dhcp since it is
only a testing server. NFS is running and is accepting conncections
locally. I've run mount localhost:/inst /mnt/nfs and it takes place
without fail.
However, when I attempt to mount from either my workstation or virtual
machine I get the following error:
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection reset by peer
After this error occurs and I restart nfs, stopping mountd fails
(starting it again is OK) and looking at the server on a directly
connected console I see that connected clients have been disconnected.
This makes me think I'm establishing a connection that isn't getting killed.
If I run each of the nfs services individually and allow mountd to keep
control of the console I see it segfaulting when I attempt to connect.
I haven't found any logfiles so I don't know what should I be looking at
to troubleshoot this?
