The servers are up and running and have other clients connected.
You didn't mention what steps you took to debug it:
Can you ping the server? What is the output of rpcinfo -p servername? Does the server have access restrictions (firewall, TCP Wrappers, etc)?
I have the same symptoms... rpcinfo says that nfs et.al. are running.
Something has changed in test 2, since the same PC running RH9 accesses that host just fine.
Ditto here. These boxes exporting nfs dirs are not firewalled and have no access restrictions for other clients in the network. They work fine for all clients except for the one running FC2. I can reboot the FC2 box into Debian and it mounts the directories as expected. I seriously doubt that the nfs servers are at fault.

I must say that I'm surprised that an FC2 NFS failure isn't getting much play on this list. For me, reliable NFS is a absolute requirement. I can understand that a "typical" single-box user could care less, but surely some folks out there must depend on reliable networking.
Are any folks on this list using FC2 and NFS successfully?
