Switch to Alt + F3 of the guest installation screen and see what 
messages you see there.  Also switch to Alt + F2 and try to manually 
mount the nfs share from the shell and identify the problem.

Ok. I'm connecting to my campus network. The dom0's ip address is
10.0.38.105/255.255.255.0
Gateway address :10.0.38.254 , DNS Server : 10.0.3.2
I'd done trough the guides for mounting the dvd.iso guide from the redhat's
kbase

While the domU settings set to 10.0.38.106/255.255.255.0
I'd entered the nfs address with 10.0.38.105 & folder : /nfs

Then I switch to alt-F3 and got the following console:
        :going to do getNetConfig
        :eth0 is not a wireless adapter
        :reverse name lookup failed
        :going to STEP_URL
        :going to do nfsGetSetup
        :mounting nfs path 10.0.38.105:/nfs

Then I got the message error "That directory could not be mounted from the
server"
It's there any settings that I had done wrongly? Sorry that I'm not so
familiar with the network config.
