Can the two machines connect in other ways over the network? Can A ping B? Can B ping A? Try mount_nfs with the -R option so it gives up after a few tries. What error messages are produced? Have non-NFS changes been made to the machines? To the network? There is not a lot to go on from what you gave us. "My car used to run. Now I turn the key and it does not work. What happened?
