Are you sure that NFS service is started on your server ?

Is your portmap service running?

If portmap is running, is nfsd (nfs daemon) running?

If nfsd can't run, is ur configuration file named "exports" have some typo error?

My server runnin properly
I do following
$service nfs start
$service portmap start
$rpcinfo -p
it gives following as output
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100024 1 udp 32769 status
100024 1 tcp 32768 status
which indicates the portmap & nfs running properly
But when i given following command on client machine \
$rpcinfo -p mynfsdomain it gives following error
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused

hi,
check whether nfs daemon is running on port 2049 on your server

Ok
Do one thing : give this command
#service portmapper status

Send me the output of this command

After that give this
#service portmapper restart

After that mount ur NFS Share ..If still pb come .. then just uninstall the portmapper and re-install it again....

After that it will work...
