Ok, and this happens immediately, there's no delay?  That's a good
indicator that it's not a firewall problem, yes; instead it seems to be
a startup-specific problem.  There may be a race condition where, if the
mount is attempted before the network is up, it results in a delay.

Is downgrading the nfs-common package on the client to the 11.04 version
enough to resolve this issue?

Title:
  NFS client doesn't mount or mounts slow on startup on 11.10

Status in “nfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Here is the problem. I have a ubuntu server 10.04 and installed nfs-server.
  Every client I had till 11.10, would mount the folders at startup. Here is my fstab on Ubuntu 11.10 client:

  ubuntuserver:/media/huge /media/huge nfs rsize=16384,wsize=16384,rw,auto,nolock
  ubuntuserver:/media/externi-disk /media/externi-disk nfs rsize=16384,wsize=16384,rw,auto,nolock

  I have to wait for a minute till these directories get mounted. I have not changed any setup on 10.04 server, the previous 11.04 mounted the disks out of the box.
  The problem is that I have lot of setup files on my server, for example I have a link to pidgin, thunderbird etc. and on startup these programs can't get to their data. Network rises up fast on startup so that shouldn't be a problem.
