My guess would be: start the NFS server daemon on the file server.

Some distros have a habit of breaking NFS by default (RedHat was notorious
for breaking NFS lockd - although I haven't had the displeasure of using
RedHat lately) so it'd be a good idea to tail -f your syslog file to
confirm it's starting up properly.
