Also have you looked at the NFS Howto?

all i have is nfs-user-server installed. i didn't see a package called nfs-client in synaptic.

what packages should be installed?

Edit: ah, i'll check out that howto.

I've run into another problem while reading the guide. when i try to do

Code:

sudo exportfs -ra

it says "sudo: exportfs: command not found"

is this command absolutely necessary?

exportfs seems to ba a part of "nfs-kernel-server"
looking at the howto it seems that the command is needed to export the directories you want to share, so it probably is necessary.
You should tye installing "nfs-kernel-server" instead of "nfs-user-server", the kernel server will just replace the user one.
