Do you have portmapper running?
sudo apt-get install portmap

Make sure portmap is running ("ps -ef| grep portmap", if it's not running 
the "sudo /etc/init.d/portmap start") then try the NFS mount again.  You 
may also want to add "bg" to the mount options to background after the 
first failed attempt - this will save you sitting around for ages until the 
mount finally gives up.  "man 5 nfs" for details :)

Cheers,

James
