You need to very carefully check what is different about the server config and the client config on those who can and those who cannot connect. Something is different there. Maybe if you posted the contents of /etc/exports from the server and the IP addresses of the clients who can and cannot connect it may give us enough information to see the differences. The pertinent lines from /etc/fstab on 2 of the different machines may be of value as well. I know that often times a fresh set of eyes sees the problem that gets overlooked by one used to seeing what is already there. We see what we _expect_ to see, and it has happened to me.
