nfs-related rpc stuff runs standalone (/etc/init.d/nfs-common)
for now ipchains -F
and restart portmapper and nfs-common
/etc/init.d/portmap restart
/etc/init.d/nfs-common restart
run rpcinfo -p
should work now..
try starting the nfs server
then run your ipchains scripts again, you'll probably have to tune them,
I reccomend having most/all of your blocking rules tied to your external
interface to make it cleaner (use the option -i eth0 in the ipchains
command if eth0 is your external interface)
