What does telnet require that ping does not?
Thanks

As I understand, you've disabled the firewall on both client and
server. If not, do so.
Second, you've been advised to ditch telnet in favor of ssh. Good
advice.
Third, you haven't said whether you're doing NFS3 or NFS4. The latter
is the one to use. Check out the steps in this page:
http://www.crazysquirrel.com/computing/debian/servers/setting-up-
nfs4.jspx. (Just be careful that the IP addresses match your setup)
Finally, here's a script that tests your setup. If it does not reveal
errors, you should be OK.
systemctl restart nfs-lock.service
systemctl restart nfs-idmap.service
systemctl restart nfs-server.service
tail -n 15 /var/log/messages
FWIW, I had the same problem and was blessed with considerable help
from the list. Hopefully this will work for you.
