I have two machines physics1 & physics2 running fedora core 8. I have connected them via ethernet ports. The PINGcommand and also network monitor shows they are connected. In physics1 from nfs server window I have added a folder /root/desktop/tanuj to share. Then used the exportfs command showing files are exported. In /etc/hosts.allow I have added the IP addresses of one another in both machines. From Service-firewall I have allowed nfs. nfs, nfslock, netfs are running. I have stopped iptables. Now when I want to mount the filesystem from physics2 it displays "permission denied".

Also, I've gotten that error message often when I forgot to actually start the NFS server on the host machine. It's not exactly the most intuitive of error messages.
rpcbind and portmap are running on both the machines. exportfs -v shows the exported directories. also showmount -e command also works. when iptables was running, I had the message for mount command no route to host. when I stopped iptables, the mount command shows permission denied.

Both the machines are on the root when I want to mount it...should I change the directory permission??? the exact error message mount: 169.254.133.8 failed. Reason given by server: PERMISSION DENIED
What are the contents of your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files, because it seems like the client computer is on the deny list from the error messages you are getting.
