nfs apparantly not getting through server firewall


I am attempting to get an nfs share working between a server running fc6 and clients also running fc6. When I attempt to mount the share on a client, I get:

root@linbill ~]# mount server1:/Public /media/Server1/Public
mount: mount to NFS server 'server1' failed: System Error: No route to host.

Disabling the firewall on server1 solves this problem. But - I have set the firewall to allow nfs traffic both by checking the nfs box using system-config-nfs as well as explicitly setting ports 111 and 2049 to allow udp traffic.

I know I have to be missing something really obvious here, but I'm not seeing it. So any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Bill

Thank you very much! That solved the problem.

I just didn't look back far enough in the archives.
