Setting Up An NFS Server And Client On Fedora 13 This guide explains how to set up an NFS server and an NFS client on Fedora 13. NFS stands for Network File System; through NFS, a client can access (read, write) a remote share on an NFS server as if it was on the local hard disk.

... and after having booted both machines - you will find that they now have different ip-addresses!!
The only 'sane' way of exporting a nfs-mount is that the server has a fixed ip-address - anything else will fail sooner or later.
The ip-addresses given in the example are typically dynamic addresses - though the author doesn't specifically say so.
Most routers will accept static addresses in the 2 through 99 (and 150 through 254) range ('1' being the router itself), dynamic addresses are typically in the 100 through 149 range.
If you have a linksys ap - it will typically have a 245-address, some printers I have come across are 51 (out of the box, but can be changed) - ymmv.
To _my_ simple mind - any desktop/server/net-product should have a fixed address.
Just my 2c-worth ...
