Have a look at your firewall rules. They may be blocking your nfs.

On some distros (especially RedHat) the firewall is configured at install time without you even knowing about it. Try iptables -L. All rules should be set to ACCEPT for no firewall. If they are not then try iptables -F to reset the rules and retry the nfs mount.
