Subject: NFS over TCP not available from ...

Hi,
I am trying to boot a node from network via nfs and pxe. Here is the assumptions
on the server:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth3
iface eth3 inet static
??? address 196.25.69.15
??? netmask 255.255.255.128
??? network 196.25.69.0
??? broadcast 196.25.69.127
??? gateway 196.25.69.1
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet static
??? address 192.168.1.1
??? netmask 255.255.255.0
??? broadcast 192.168.1.255

and the content of? /etc/dnsmasq.conf, looks like:

dhcp-range=192.168.1.2,192.168.1.10,255.255.255.0,12h
dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0,server,192.168.1.1

and the content of /etx/exports is:

/home/nfsroot
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)

Now when I turn on the node, I see that it finds the vmlinuz and init.rd images.
So Seems that it properly accquired the IP address. After some minutes, it
reaches to this message:

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth1: link becomes ready

I see no terminal prompt (e.g bash, sh, ...). After some minutes I see these
messages on the node:

connect: connection timed out
NFS over TCP not available from 192.168.1.1
Done.
Begin: Retrying nfs mount ...
Begin: Running /scripts/nfs-permanent ...
Done.
connect: connection timed out

What is wrong with NFS? Also I can not ping 192.168.1.2 from srver (192.168.1.1)
either.
