Thanks for the link.  I checked it out, but didn't really help much.  All it really said in my case was that I was a victim of an overzealous firewall.  I recently took a RedHat Firewall class for my job, so I'm going thru those materials to see what the problem is, but nothing as of yet.  I still get the same error.
I tried adding a rule on the UDP port 2049 (for NFS), similar to the TCP equivalent, but I still get the same error.  I tail'd /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure on my NFS server, but no messages came up when my Myth box tried to NFS-mount to the share.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Harry
