   Offhand, since I don't currently have mandriva running on any of my   
   machines, it looks like your client doesn't have what it needs to mount   
   an NFS system.  I know on Ubuntu systems you need to be sure to install   
   the nfs-common package to get NFS capability.  Perhaps there is   
   something related for Mandriva?  Try searching in the package database.   
      
   To test it, I'd put another laptop on your network and see if that   
   second machine is able to mount the NFS server.  That narrows down if   
   your problem is on the client side or the server side.   
      
   Again, just guessing here, but it's perhaps better than nothing.
