Another try at NFS mount.

[Luis]

portmap must be running on both boxes to use nfs3
if you don't use dns, do not use names in /etc/exports. use "/tmp
*(ro)" as a test to see if clients can mount it (trying to mount this
path on the same server would work).

if you are using nfs4, then you will need to give it some time for
client/server idmapd to sync (5 min or so). and you will need to do a
few things to enable your shares... google is your friend since this
is well documented all over.
