Just to check the obvious:

o What does "netstat -r" have to say? Do you have a default route, a
static route to that server's net, or is the server on the net you're
iPAQ is connected to? If the latter, check the subnet mask is correct,
with ifconfig.

o If the server is multi-homed, you may need routes to *all* of its
interfaces, not just the one you think you're using.

o Can you ping the server? Given the error I doubt it; you need to get
ping working before you can think about NFS.

Calum.
