Hmm, sounds like the portmapper is not running or having difficulties for
some reason. Does /vice/srv/portmaplog contain anything interesting ?
The portmapper can be started by running rpc2portmap.

Additionally, you may want to make sure that every client & other server
your server may want to talk to is is your /etc/hosts. The reason for this
is that 5.3.x have problems with name resolution not working correctly all
the time on FreeBSD. This is fixed in the latest version of the source
which can be gotten via anonymous cvs (see previous posts) or wait for
5.3.5, which should be out in the next week or so.
