[SOLVED] NFS protocol not supported

Question

I get this error:
mount.nfs4: Protocol not supported
when trying to mount a NFS share from my server like so:
sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.1.20:/srv/nfs4/ /media/server
I can mount it on my raspberry pi, but not on my arch laptop.
The server configuration is like this:
/srv/nfs4/ 192.168.1.1/24(rw,fsid=root,no_subtree_check)
/srv/nfs4/media 192.168.1.1/24(rw,no_subtree_check,nohide)
showmount -e gives this:
Export list for 192.168.1.20:
/srv/nfs4/media 192.168.1.1/24
/srv/nfs4 192.168.1.1/24
Any ideas?

I don't think you are supplying all the information that you are given by your machine.  The error you mention is often preceeded by a number of other messages which give some idea of what is actually occurring.  Please post error messages exactly as they are given to you, and check the journal and/or dmesg for more information.
Also as a side note, you need to use code tags for things like commands and output.  Hit the quote button on this post to see how I created the boxes below (the arrows will make sense when this post is quoted):
