On your NFS server, look at the syslog:
Code:
tail -f /var/log/syslog
while you are trying to access the share. NFS produces useful messages. Usually the problem is something non-obvious like the portmapper not being allowed for NFS.

First tell us, which command did you run at the client side to see the directories exported by the server ?
At Server side, try running commands
#exportfs -v (for verbose)
#exportfs -r (refresh)
What are they showing ?

CLient side command
#showmount -e "server ip"

For the answer of your 2nd doubt,
try starting Portmap service first then start NFS service.

for 3rd doubt, what problem exactly you are facing while mounting ?
