I fought this also and found this to help.
edit the lines in "/etc/hosts.allow"   to match your needs.
 
# Rpcbind is used for all RPC services; protect your NFS!
# (IP addresses rather than hostnames *MUST* be used here)
rpcbind : 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0 : allow 
rpcbind : 192.168.2.53/255.255.255.0 : allow
rpcbind : ALL : ALL
