Are you *really* certain that everything is set up properly on
the Sun? Can other clients mount filesystems from it? Here
are a few things to check:
1. Run "rpcinfo -p sun-server". Look for "mountd" and "nfs".
If they're not running, you'll get the RPC errors you
mention.
2. Run "showmount -e sun-server". Make sure the filesystems
are really being exported.
Hope this helps.
