I didn't try this, but I did try to ping hapro from gummo and vice-versa. 

Sure enough, there was an old entry for gummo in the /etc/hosts file on
harpo! I made sure that I could ping cleanly both ways, and one of the
mount commands (with harpo as the client) now works:

[root@harpo /root]# mount gummo:/home/bob /gummo
[root@harpo /root]# df
Filesystem         1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on
....
gummo:/home/bob      2682828  122445   2560383      6%   /gummo

However, harpo as a server is still a no-go....

[root@gummo root]# ping -c 3 harpo

[root@gummo root]# mount harpo:/home/bob /harpo -o nfsvers=2,rsize=1024,wsize=1024
mount: harpo:/home/bob failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

The results are no different if I use IP addresses now.

Nice improvement... at least there's some connectivity now....
