==================================
Any idea about why not connecting?

Hi,

[root@Ita1 root]# mount fileserver01:/bk1 /bk1
mount: mount point /bk1 does not exist

I think that on you Ital server there is no /bk1 directory.

You need to do on Ital machine:
1. mkdir /bk1
2. mount fileserver01:/bk1 /bk1

Shalom,

NFS won't export what it can not see.

Prior to adding it to the /etc/exports file make sure the exported directory actually exists.
