It's worth posting this to the list.

I don't use NFS, I use samba and smb4k only works with samba.  However,
NFS is very easy to use for sharing files but you need to read the docs.

You need to configure the server to allow other hosts to access the NFS
'shares'.  It is a while since I've used NFS and your best bet is the
docs and posting to the list.
