: The server you are trying to access does not run mountd and/or nfsd.

I'm running nfs on two FreeBSD-mashines (2.1.0). One mashine is OK. But
the other having been upgraded to 2.1.0 about a half a year ago refused
to mount a drive twice. The configuration and the daemons seem to be 
properly set up since the rest of the time the server still operates.
When it refused to mount network drive I checked everything and didn't 
find any differencies. The symptoms were just the same as it was reported.
After a few reboots and some manipulations with date, nfs started to work.

Thus, it may be not an absence of appropriate daemon or improper configuration.
