You really need to give more information. What does the line in
"/etc/exports" look like? Do you see any errors from "mountd" in
/var/log/messages after "/etc/rc.d/mountd reload && /etc/rc.d/nfsd
restart"? What is the result, on the client, of "showmount -e _server_"?
What command do you use to mount on the clients? Does the mountpoint
exist?
