Well, you might turn up the debugging level of your portmap service and 
see what appears in your /var/log/messages or /var/log/secure files.

The above only suggests that you made a request and got a response.  The 
response could very well have been "hell no!".

Also, since portmap uses /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny, perhaps 
you haven't given that subnet permission to use portmap.

Hopefully they suggestions will help you preserve your honor and the 
studliness you are no doubt known for in the computer lab ;-)
