NFS-client - RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Port mapper failure (7.2)

Hi,

I'm trying to get a FreeBSD 7.2-machine (amd64) to talk to a NetApp
filer using NFS.

Basic network connetivity, i.e. ping, ssh etc. between the two is
there, but I can't mount the respective directory from the Netapp.

Here's what I get when I try to mount:

# mount_nfs -i -T 192.168.1.9:/vol/vol2 /mnt
[tcp] 192.168.1.9:/vol/vol2: RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
[tcp] 192.168.1.9:/vol/vol2: RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
[tcp] 192.168.1.9:/vol/vol2: RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
...

When I try the mount via UDP same story (only that at the beginning of
the error message it reads [udp]

This is what I've got in my /etc/rc.conf:

nfs_client_enable="YES"
nfs_client_flags="-n 4"

Any ideas what could be wrong here?

Thanks in advance for your help,
-ewald
