Thank you bingo.  Your reply gave me the starting point to resolve the
issue.  First, the client was running without issue and the logs had
nothing in them regarding connections being made or not.  Using your
suggestion, I was able from both server and client to run nsradmin against
each other.  I went to the documentation after that and it mentions
running ping which I'd already done, but below that it talks about
exercising rpcinfo. This failed on the server to client test and was
otherwise successful on all other tests.  I opened the client firewall
port for UDP 7938 and everything began working.  I do find the
documentation for having this port open to be a little ambiguous.
