Look at /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow. Probably on k75b you have an entry like "ALL: ALL" in /etc/hosts.deny. Then you should put the line portmap: 10.123.0.0/255.255.0.0 in /etc/hosts.allow.

I have the same settings in the host nsgp35005 and I can nfs mount /home in k75b. Can anybody suggest where else I should be looking at to allow remote mounts in k75b?

The difference between the two hosts should be in the two files /etc/hosts.{allow|deny}. I suppose you have hosts.deny entries only on k75b, but not on nsgp35005.
