Request for mount_nfs assistance

[peter at vfemail.net]

I deleted the unnecessary line from the /etc/exports file and rebooted both machines.  Connecting from the client to the server using an "/sbin/mount_nfs 192.168.0.244:/usr/home1 /home1" command took forever . . . well, somewhere between a half-hour and an hour.  It used to be speedy.  Nothing mount-related has been logged in either server's /var/log/messages file.  

I'm at a loss to know where to start to track down what's causing the slow connection.
