Wolf,
Server with /etc/exports file: 192.168.0.3
You might try using adding a permanent mount line in your clients'
/etc/fstab files with the "users" option:
192.168.0.3:/name_of_NFS_shared_directory/ /local_mount_point nfs \
noauto,users,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr 0 0
^^^^^
Hope this helps...
