mounting an nfs share timeout on linux mint 14 client

mounting an nfs share timeout on linux mint 14 client

I am trying to mount an nfs share on a linux mint 14 (64bit). I have already downloaded and installed nfs-common & rpcbind package in linux mint. The server contains in /etc/exports the line
/nfs/lvm 192.168.112.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
(the above export is a soft link to /mnt/lvm).
On the client side i type in the command line:
sudo mount stargaze:/nfs/lvm/ /mnt/lvm/
and I wait for a while but nothing happens.
at timeout I read in the client side: mount.nfs: Connection timed out but there is nothing in dmesg!
I tested this share on another computer in my intranet, a slackware v14.0 32bit client and it mounts the share fine.
Am I forgetting something in Mint?
Thank you
