OK. I looked at rpcinfo -p and found only four(4) entries on both
machines. They are marked in the rpcinfo output that you provided.

I stopped nfs-common and then portmap on both machines, and then
started portmap on server, nfs-common on server, portmap on client,
and nfs-common on client, in that order. The output of rpcinfo -p was
the same as before (and unlike your output). I think we have a clue,
but I have no clue as to what I should do. I await your suggestions.

Are there some other services that I should also restart? I only did
what was mentioned above.
