hi..

You need to be root to export file systems (i.e. use exportfs -a)

The server's /etc/exports controls the which file systems can be exported and hence served to clients. The client's /etc/exports has no affect.

/etc/exports: server configuration file
tells server which file systems to export.
/etc/fstab: client configuration file tells local system which file systems to mount, and how to mount them.

if all is fine and OK then check as below.

Check file of /etc/hosts.allow & /etc/hosts.deny

Also, when you change one of the NFS configuration files such as /etc/exports, you need to restart the server so it re-reads the files. I think there is a command to make it just re-read them and apply the changes at run time, but I don't remember offhand what that is, if it is...
