That your supposed-to-be server is not an NFS server, it misses
crucial services like mountd or nfsd (or however they are being called
on your server platform).
Try `rpcinfo -p <your server>', you should see these entries (among
others):
program vers proto port
100005 1 udp 687 mountd
100005 1 tcp 688 mountd
100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs
