/raj serverIP(rw)

You need to specify client, not server. Or you can export for whole subnet by giving netmask, like 192.168.0.0/24.

man exports

oops!!!....

I changed it...even though i m getting the same error????

From client:

showmount -e server

Do you see exports?

See examples in man exports, make sure no firewall is blocking connections.

You can try checking your Firewall and SELINUX. You can try by temporarily disabling them.

I already checked my firewall and selinux. . .

Its in disable only. . .??

any other way???

on nfs server side try with these option it might work
vim /etc/exports
/<sharename> <*.your_domain_name>(rw,sync,no_root_squash)

then type
exportfs -rv
and restart the desired services

on client side type

showmount -e <server_ip>
if your shared folder is been listed then type
cd /net/<server_ip>/<shared_folder_name>
or
mount -t nfs <server_ip>/<shared_folder_name>

Guys still getting the same error. . i have tried all steps u told. . .its urgent help

[crazpiyush]

On client side
mount -t nfs <server_ip>:<shared_folder_name> <mount _point>
mount -t nfs 192.168.0.254:/myshare /mnt
here 192.168.0.254 is nfs server ip
dont forget to give ":" after server ip
and /mnt is mount pount
