[K12OSN] RPC times out

[Andy Hall <andy well-nap k12 mo us>]

What can cause the RPC to time out when trying to mount an NFS share?

I have a RH 7.1 install that should be exporting 2 directories.  It worked 
for a while, but then the server was unplugged on me and now the share will 
not work.  Second time this problem has popped up.  When I try to connect 
from another machine I get

'mount: RPC: Timed Out'.

This isn't happening consistently either.  Sometimes it works and sometimes 
it doesn't.  It appears that I can get exactly ONE mount to work each time 
I restart NFS on the server.

The results of my 'exportfs -v' are:

[root math_terminal /etc]# exportfs -v
/xterminals/root
                *(rw,async,wdelay,no_root_squash)
/var/xterminals
                *(rw,async,wdelay,no_root_squash)

Any suggestions at all will be appreciated.
