Even after setting up /etc/exports and running exportfs -a -v, you get an error message when, on the ssp, you say:

# mount -t nfs ssp-ws:/local /mnt

the error is:

mount: mount to NFS server 'ssp-ws' failed: System Error: No route to host.

You need to allow nfs:tcp through the RedHat firewall.

On the ssp-ws, as root:

# system-config-securitylevel

then disable the firewall (drop-down menu "disable").

Re-try the mount and it should work. You can also try to leave the firewall enabled, and just allow the port nfs:tcp through. NFS is port 2049.
