But surely lots of people are using NFS on their local LAN
without worrying about the firewall?

I know less than anyone else contributing to this thread about NFS,
but I occasionally find if I have tried to mount on the wrong LAN
(I have two WiFi LANs) that I have to give the IP address of the server,
viz "sudo mount 192.168.3.1:/common /common".

I actually use the shorewall firewall,
but surely the standard firewall should allow any local LAN connection?
