I figured it out. All I had to do was to shutdown the NFS server and
everything went fine. I took the mount instructions from the previous
post and it worked perfectly on both machines. HURRAY!!!!!
Now all that is left to do is to go back and re-read everything and look
up all the commands so I understand what exactly happened.

Thanks you very much for all the help. I am looking forward to the day
when I will be able to answer someones questions.
