Thanks Paul, i tried that and got it running now.
What's the purpose of exportfs? Should i issue that command whenever i change exports in /etc/exports? I think that was the problem before...
exportfs updates the server's list of exported filesystems; the NFS server doesn't read the /etc/exports file directly. You should re-run exportfs after changing /etc/exports. It should get run automatically on booting if the NFS server is set to start on boot.
Paul.
