You probably don't have a user "nobody" on your server. Find out
where the PC-NFS client puts its error messages and look there, or
look at the syslog on your server system for failed connect messages
from mountd. In general, if the mount works for one username and not
for another, the problem is with the username and not the general
configuration.
