Is portmapper runing? what does rpcinfo -p show? is there a firewall
on the system? I suppose it could be kernel configuration too, can
you include a copy of the kernel config for the section "Networking
Options"(this is for 2.2.x, 2.4.x may name it slightly differently.
e.g. my options are:

CONFIG_PACKET=y
# CONFIG_NETLINK is not set
CONFIG_FIREWALL=y
CONFIG_FILTER=y
CONFIG_UNIX=y
CONFIG_INET=y
# CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST is not set
# CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER is not set
# CONFIG_IP_PNP is not set
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL=y
CONFIG_IP_TRANSPARENT_PROXY=y
# CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE is not set
# CONFIG_IP_ROUTER is not set
# CONFIG_NET_IPIP is not set
# CONFIG_NET_IPGRE is not set
CONFIG_IP_ALIAS=y
CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES=y


you can find this info in the /boot/config-`uname -r` file if you
used kernel-package to build your kernel(or installed a debian kernel,
or /usr/src/linux/.config otherwise(or wherever you may have the
linux source).
