Network config - RPC timeout - what have I missed?

[Pigeon <jah.pigeon@ukonline.co.uk>]

Hi,

I am setting up box pigeon as an NFS server from which to install
woody on box nestie via ethernet. I am attempting to make
/scsidrive/woody[1..7] available for export. Box nestie isn't up at
all yet, so I'm trying to test it by mounting the exported filesystem
locally.

I intend for pigeon to be 192.168.1.1, nestie to be 192.168.1.2. I can
ping both 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.0. If I try

mount 127.0.0.1:/scsidrive/woody1 /mnt -t nfs

it works, but if I try

mount 192.168.1.1:/scsidrive/woody1 /mnt -t nfs

I get "mount: RPC: Timed out". By messing with the permissions in
/etc/exports or removing my entries in /etc/hosts.allow and
/etc/hosts.deny, I can change this to a "permission denied by server"
error. So some of it's working...

I must have missed something, any ideas what? I have set up the
following: (see below)

TIA,
Pigeon
