  Now you're saying that SAMBA isn't working either?  It sounds to me that 
there is something really wrong with your setup.  In reality, NFS is much 
simpler to setup than samba is.  I suggest you take to heart the advices put 
forth by Graham Smith, to install nmap and have it scan for the ports on your 
server from the client ... and to watch out for firewalls.

  I also suggest you work on getting both working, samba and nfs ... that way 
you always have a choice of what you find more convenient.  That's what linux 
is all about, choice.
