Are you doing NFS sharing (on the server) as a NFS process or as part of
the kernel?  If you're doing in in the kernal good luck, if you're doing
it as a process is the "nfsd" command running on the server?

I noticed that John C said that by default NFS was disabled on slackware
(a good default).  So have you enabled it on the server?
