NFS mounting problem

Hi everyone

I want to mount a file system that exists on one server (server A) on a
mount point that exists on another server (server B).
Both servers are Solaris 7 servers. Server A acts as the server and server
B acts as the client.

On server A:
Added the following line to the /etc/dfs/dfstab file and shared a
particular directory

share -F nfs -o ro, rw=server B /dir 1/dir 2. After this I enabled nfs as
this is the first share entry.

On server B I tried the following :

1. added this to the /etc/vfstab file
    server A:/dir1/dir2 - /local mount point nfs - yes
ro,rw=accesslist
However after rebooting the server didn't boot.

2. I edited the /etc/vfstab file and removed the entry. Then I executed the
following command:

mount -F nfs server A:/folder1/folder2 /local mount point
On execution, this is the message that was returned:

nfs mount :server A: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Timed out

I don't know what to do from here. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Will
summarize answers in email.

Regards
