NFS 2.0.7: How to fix?

I have two boxes running 2.0.7 with Slackware 3.0 upgraded.

the box called aaron exports its root filesystem:

# See exports(5) for a description.
# This file contains a list of all directories exported to other computers.
# It is used by rpc.nfsd and rpc.mountd.
/ hur(rw,insecure,no_root_squash)
/u miriam(rw,insecure,no_root_squash)

hur mounts aarons root file-system:

aaron:/ /aaron nfs rw,soft,bg,rsize=8192,wsize=8192

Trying to do a mount /aaron results in:

hur:/var/log# mount /aaron
mount: wrong fs type or bad superblock on aaron:/
hur:/var/log#

The Kernel Log contains:

Jul 16 10:45:15 hur kernel: NFS server aaron not responding, timed out.

No log entries on aaron at all.

How can I fix this? This seems to go away sporadically if I reboot
aaron.
