  Have you tried disabling the firewall and checking the connection? Maybe its not the firewall blocking it.

  Reading RH docs say port 111 too. https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Storage_Administration_Guide/s2-nfs-nfs-firewall-config.html

  Try this first: service iptables stop, and see if it works for you.

  I can't disable it. Firewall is external
