The problem was here:

On the NFS-Server, /etc/default/portmap:
# By default, listen only on the loopback interface
ARGS="-i 127.0.0.1"

One mus comment out the line above, if NFS-Server should be reached from 
the net.

Here my mail to the NFS-list:

Hi all!
Thanks for your help - you hit the nail!! After comenting the obvious 
(and only) line in /etc/default/portmap anything went fine.

No, it IS the default - I have never been asked (installed with apt-get 
install portmap). I use ubuntu Hoary.
May be, because it targets the desktop-user the default is only loopback.
Anyway, now its fine, thanks again to all who answered and helped.

Regards, Ingo.
