[rhn-users] portmap failure

I have three systems at RH 7.3 and one system at Enterprise 3.  They 
are supposed to share partitions via nsf.  The Enterprise 3 system 
mounts partitions from each of the RH 7.3 systems.  The RH 7.3 systems 
can mount each others partitions.  However, the RH 7.3 systems cannot 
mount the partitions from the Enterprise system.

All of them show port 111 open when I run nmap.

All of them have each other's ip address in their /etc/hosts table and 
/etc/hosts_allow is set correctly.

# mount /uo
mount: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive
mount: backgrounding "RH-E3:/workspacer"


 From the 7.3 systems:
rpcinfo  -u RH-7.3 portmap
program 100000 version 2 ready and waiting
# rpcinfo  -u RH-E3 portmap
rpcinfo: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive
program 100000 is not available

Any ideas why this is not working?

Thanks.
