On host1 (the server), I get:
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100024    1   udp    876  status
    100024    1   tcp    879  status
    100003    2   udp   2049  nfs
    100021    1   udp  47040  nlockmgr
    100021    3   udp  47040  nlockmgr
    100005    1   udp    868  mountd
    100005    1   tcp    871  mountd
    100005    2   udp    868  mountd
    100005    2   tcp    871  mountd

On host2 (the client), I get:
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100024    1   udp    704  status
    100024    1   tcp    707  status

So, it looks like you might be right. The two machines are nearly 
identical. I didn't do the actual install of Debian, and I just noticed 
that they are running different kernel versions:
