total NFS newbie needs help

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

I have a dir on this machine that contains all 9 of the FC3 iso 
images, and I've setup a server: line in my fstab, and setup 
the /etc/exports file to export that dir to any address in the 
192.168.xx.xx block

I *think* I have the exports for nfs setup correctly.

I've even rebooted.

On this machine, a showmount -e shows this:
[root at coyote root]# showmount -e
[root at coyote etc]# showmount -e
Export list for coyote.coyote.den:
/usr/dlds-misc/FC3 192.168.71.0/255.255.255.0

And on another box as client for machine coyote:
[root at gene root]# showmount -e coyote
Export list for coyote:
/usr/dlds-misc/FC3 192.168.71.0/255.255.255.0

But I cannot connect with the NFS choice on the machine I'm trying to 
install FC3 on.  And at the point in the install, there is no other 
shell available, so all I can see is the cannot connect messages once 
I've filled in the address of this box and the path on this box to 
those iso's.  So at this point I have no idea if the network driver 
the installer has loaded is wrong or what.  However, the box is 
sitting down there with the error message on screen, and I can ping 
it just fine:

PING shop.coyote.den (192.168.71.4) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from shop.coyote.den (192.168.71.4): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 
time=0.097 ms

telnet and ssh both are refused.

Does anyone have a clue to loan me?
