vviscomi,
This seems like an NFS problem. It could be that the server you are mounting from is off live or the nfsd is not running on it. Try
>showmount -e nfs.server.name
This sould give you all of the files that it is sharing. If you don;t see anything then the nfsd is down.
good luck

rpc.nfsd(8) System Manager's Manual rpc.nfsd(8)
NAME
rpc.nfsd - NFS server process
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd [-p port] nproc
DESCRIPTION
The rpc.nfsd program implements the user level part of the NFS service. The main functionality is handled by the nfsd.o kernel module; the
user space program merely starts the specified number of kernel threads.
The rpc.mountd server provides an ancially service needed to satisfy mount requests by NFS clients.
OPTIONS
-p port
specify a diferent port to listen on for NFS requests. By default, rpc.nfsd will listen on port 2049.
nproc specify the number of NFS server threads. By default, just one thread is started. However, for optimum performance several threads
should be used. The actual figure depends on the number of and the work load created by the NFS clients, but a useful starting point
is 8 threads. Effects of modifying that number can be checked using the nfsstat(8) program.
SEE ALSO
rpc.mountd(8), exportfs(8), rpc.rquotad(8), nfsstat(8).
