rpcinfo -p doesn't work

[Dave Martini 1]

I don't even have the firewall turned on on the client so how could it 
be the client having the problem?

client# service iptables status
Firewall is stopped.

I get this error

client# rpcinfo -p server
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: rpcinfo: RPC: Timed out

What does that error mean?


client# iptables -nL
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination        

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination        

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
