i've just done the following on my ubuntu-dapper-desktop :

1) sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server

2) edited /etc/exports, inserted the following :

/home                   192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,async,no_wdelay)

3) sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

why don't you have /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server ?

# exportfs
/home           192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0

# which exportfs
/usr/sbin/exportfs

# dpkg -S /usr/sbin/exportfs
nfs-kernel-server: /usr/sbin/exportfs
