Trouble mounting a NFS share on an Arch server from an Arch client

I'm having issues mounting a NFS share located on an Arch based server from an Arch based client (I've successfully mounted the same share many a time from Lubuntu/Ubuntu).  Network subnet's etc. are all fine with IPs provided by my ADSL router.  When, however, I try to NFS mount a share on my server (192.18.168.108) the share does not show up on the client -

showmount -e 192.18.168.108

results in a hanging cursor in the client machine's terminal window.

Server config:

cat /etc/exports

returns:

# /etc/exports - exports(5) - directories exported to NFS clients
#
#
# Use `exportfs -arv` to reload.

/srv/nfs4 192.168.168.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,async)

Excerpt from

cat /etc/fstab

returns:

# mount raid array
UUID=ec10abf5-40c4-4ca5-8f95-77ae05431510	/mnt/md0	ext4	user,noatime,noexec,nodev	0 0

# bind nfs share
/mnt/md0 /srv/nfs4 none bind 0 0

mount

returns:

/dev/md0 on /mnt/md0 type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,stripe=512,data=ordered)
/dev/md0 on /srv/nfs4 type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,stripe=512,data=ordered)

exportfs -v

returns:

/srv/nfs4     	192.168.168.0/24(rw,async,wdelay,root_squash,no_subtree_check,sec=sys,rw,root_squash,no_all_squash)

On the client side I've done the following:

sudo pacman -Sy nfs-utils
sudo systemctl enable rpcbind.service
sudo systemctl start rpcbind.service
systemctl enable nfs-client.target
systemctl start nfs-client.target

For some reason NFS shares on Arch have always been problematic for me.  What am I missing/ have I overlooked?

Re: Trouble mounting a NFS share on an Arch server from an Arch client

192.168.168.xxx ?  The address from the ADSL router, are you sure its' not 192.168.254.xxx ?  Did you sudo enable/start nfs-client.target?  Did you check the other nfs services such as nfs-mountd, nfs-idmapd, etc.  to see if they came as their dependencies?

... 192.18...
... 192.168...

You have each of these twice, otherwise I'd assume it was just a typo.

Aaargh!!!!  Damnit, I cannot believe I didn't pick this up - it was a typo, not in my post, but in the what I'd been doing in the terminal session. Thank you.

Re the IP range I'm 100% sure on that part - it's a change I made to accommodate some static IP's I'd set up years ago on some older devices.

Now I'm getting:

Check your nfs related services on the server and the client.
