Does it tell you why it doesn't work?

rpc.portmap is the portmapper daemon. It is probably already running on
your box by this time.
The bind() function (roughly) registers that you want to know about all
connections on a certain port. In the case of portmap, this is udp port
111. Since the other copy of portmap has already bound to this, you can't
start another copy of portmap.

It isn't the network card... Can you ping anywhere from the laptop? If
you are relying on dns (rather than specifying everthing by IP address)
does it work properly. Is the nfs server working?
