It appears to me that NFS requires ports 111 and 2049, both of which

needed some high numbered ports, right now, 43509, but that changes
from time to time. I have to keep checking the firestarter events
log on both the server and client to see what needs to be opened. I
usually block by defaullt and open only the ports needed. Perhaps
that wont work with NFS?
If anyone can offer some suggestion I would appreciate it.

Read the source[1] and eSearch for "nfs static ports". You'll
get your answer by the time you're done reading.
[1] http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s2-sysconfig-nfs.html
The key file is /etc/sysconfig/nfs.

Use nfs4? One of the features is that ports don't move around. In
fact you only need one port, 2049/tcp.

Fedora works just fine with only nfs4 enabled and has for the last
couple of releases.

Thanks to both of you for some very good help. The man page contains a lot of information and although it referred to nfs4, etc. I could not make the connection with the symptoms I saw.
Thanks for the help.
