mount to NFS server '192.168.0.105' failed: System Error: No route to host.

I am trying to access a DVD mounted on a machine running Fedora12 (192.168.0.105). I thought this should be possible with NFS, but the above error message is what I keep getting, no matter what I try. Here is my mount command:

Code:

 mount 192.168.0.105:/mnt/dvd -t nfs /tmp/scaleo

The Fedora 12 machine has the NFS server running, and the corresponding entry in /etc/exports is

Code:

/mnt/dvd *(ro)

I thought this might be a firewall problem, but it persists even if I turn firewalls off on both machines (client as well as server.) Also, doing

Code:

ssh 192.168.0.105

is OK, so what is wrong with the route?

I now tried

Code:

 mount 192.168.0.105:/mnt/dvd -t nfs4 /tmp/scaleo

and it seems the mount succeeded. So, instead of nfs, one must write nfs4? Ermm...

I have found the nfs4 to be necessary too. nfs & nfs4 seem to use different versions of things.
