Are you sure that NFS service is started on your server ?

Is your portmap service running?

If portmap is running, is nfsd (nfs daemon) running?

If nfsd can't run, is ur configuration file named "exports" have some typo error?

My server runnin properly
 I do following
 $service nfs start
 $service portmap start
 $rpcinfo -p
  it gives following as output
  program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100024    1   udp  32769  status
    100024    1   tcp  32768  status
which indicates the portmap & nfs running properly
 But when i given following command on client machine \
 $rpcinfo -p mynfsdomain it gives following error
 rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused

hi,
  check whether nfs daemon is running on port 2049 on your server

Ok
Do one thing : give this command
#service portmapper status

Send me the output of this command

After that give this
#service portmapper restart

After that mount ur NFS Share ..If still pb come .. then just uninstall the portmapper and re-install it again....

After that it will work...
