Reboot. The server and clients should be running. On the server side there is (will be) a file, /etc/exports. Make entries specifying which file systems are to be mounted. Read man exports. That's the beginning. Get a copy of "Managing NFS and NIS" from O'Reilly Associates. That and the list will help you. Since my expertise is now exhausted, Good Luck!
