is there something unreliable about "showmount -e"?

  just yesterday, i was demonstrating NFS to a class of people running
F7 on their laptops, and i set up a simple NFS export on one system,
and asked everyone else to run "showmount -e" against that server.

  only one system in the class got output from showmount, although
everyone could ping the server properly.  i found this just a bit
odd, and spent a few minutes trying to figure out what was happening,
to no avail.

  these were 64-bit F7 installs, and i didn't get a chance to see if a
32-bit install would work any differently.  so, is there some reason i
would have seen this behaviour?  the showmounts didn't fail with error
messages, they just returned nothing (in most cases).  thoughts?
