    This is what I get.

    The NFS server is 147.46.44.183 with gateway 147.46.44.1
    The NFS client is 147.47.254.184 with gateway 147.47.254.1

    On the NFS server:
            $ sockstat | grep portmap
            daemon portmap 79693 3 udp4 *:111 *:*
            daemon portmap 79693 4 tcp4 *:111 *:*
            $ sockstat | grep nfsd
            root nfsd 87 3 tcp4 *:2049 *:*
            $ sockstat | grep mount
            root mountd 84 3 udp4 *:1023 *:*
            root mountd 84 4 tcp4 *:1023 *:*

    On the client:
            $ rpcinfo -p 147.46.44.183
            rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Operation timed out
            

    On another computer with the same gateway as the server:
            $ rpcinfo -p 147.46.44.183
            program vers proto port
            100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
            100000 2 udp 111 portmapper

    Any idea what could block the contact to the portmapper?
    Could a network setup at one of the gateways cause these trouble, such
    as a firewall (though I don't know anything about firewalls!) ?
    Secure shell connections still work fine between all the computers!

    Thanks for your help.
    Rob.
