NFS need path error

[Timothy Boyden]

I think you have two problems there based on what you wrote:

"Connection refused" means your clients don't have permission or access to
connect, so you may need to revisit your hosts.allow config and maybe put an
entry for the subnet like: 192.168.1.0/24

I'm not sure of the exact way to write that. Google is your friend there...

The NFS errors seem to be an indication of a bad NFS server install. You may
need to uninstall and reinstall the NFS server package.
