Is /etc/auto.net actually there?

If so, check what exports the server has with 'showmount -e'.

Here is my laptop (nc6220kvi) querying my server (gate):

kvi at nc6220kvi:~$ showmount -e gate
Export list for gate:
/mnt     192.168.132.0/255.255.255.0
/home    192.168.132.0/255.255.255.0
/var/www 192.168.132.0/255.255.255.0
kvi at nc6220kvi:~$

If you dont get any output you'll need to configure NFS on the server.
