Here is the output of /usr/sbin/showmount -e srvfs-01 on the webserver
where it is working correctly

login as: root
root at 192.168.0.18's password:
Last login: Mon Apr 11 16:25:46 2005 from dpc674485238.direcpc.com
[root at SRVWEB01 root]# /usr/sbin/showmount -e srvfs-01
Export list for srvfs-01:
/root   192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
/home   192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
/shared 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
[root at SRVWEB01 root]# 


The firewall is not running on the database server (the affected one)

I tried exporting a directory from another computer, and it mounted
normally, so I suspect that there is something set flaky at the server,
but again I don't know what
