When I try to mount NFS, I was getting this error mount: RPC: Remote system error - No route to host. I spend tons of time figuring out why, and found it is a Firewall issue. According to Linux NFS-HOWTO: Security and NFS it is not impossible to run NFS with the Firewall.
When I run /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p, I see that nfsd is on port 2049 and the portmapper is on port 111. Using both tcp and udp. There is a way to “tie” down the ports used by rest of the services used for NFS. But its a bit over my head, and am too tired… Should I say to heck with it and disable firewall?

And now for something completely different. Sky is falling! There is a chance of an asteroid hitting earth on April 13, 2029. On the other hand, a good news. Scientists found that imaginary friends are good. So, in short, time is running out. Play with your imaginary friend.
