This error will be caused as a result of one of two problems. The first is
that you don't have the /etc/exports file setup and if you do, make sure that
you have run the command: /sbin/exportfs to update the kernel. The other
reason for this deny message will be that the system is unable to match the
incoming IP address to the name which is listed in the /etc/exports file.
Check your /etc/exports file to make sure that everything is correct and that
the IP address does match the name of the computer exactally.
You may want to take a look at your /var/log/secure or /var/log/messages to
glean more hints as to what is wrong.
See ya
