Guy,
I suggest you check the following text files on your linux box,
/etc/hosts  Is your OSX machine listed with it's i.p. Or are you using 
DHCP ?
/etc/nsswitch.conf to make sure you havn't got NIS enabled anywhere
Are you trying to run the  NFS server on your linux box or on your imac 
?
Have you tried running say a web server/browser to check connections. ?
I wouldn't be surprised if one machines firewall was blocking the 
connection either

It is one way, On a lan it is useful. Use it myself at home between 3 
linux and one XP machine.
