NFS - can't mount - permissions denied error


I have two machines both with Mandrake 9.1 both have NFS installed and configured. I have a folder within a home directory on machine A that has sharing set up for 'everyone'. When I go to NFS mount point in the MCC on machine B I can browse to the shared folder on machine A but it won't mount, i get no error but it just won't mount b/c when something does mount the mount button changes to unmount.

Within Konqueror I browse to Devices | Remote Share i click on it and I get an error that says 'mount: 192.168.1.103:/home/...../Documents failed, reason given by server: Permissions denied. Also within Konqueror I can go to /mnt/Documents and just get a blank screen and no error. The share is open the all users so I am stumped. I don't know if its a firewall/security problem. Thanks for any help.

Here's an update: When I go into the MCC | Set NFS mount points and click browse servers my local machning shows up and if I expand that then the shared folder on the remote machine shows up. Is this right? When I browse shouldn't the remote machine show up as an NFS server and not the local machine?

I guess this is a conversation with myself. The problem has been solved. It was the damn firewall being enabled on the remote machine.
