Not what I have

# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be
# exported
#               to NFS clients.  See exports(5).
/pgm2  192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 (rw) hard,intr,no_root_squash,nohide

Any box on the home network is allowed.

# hosts.allow  
portmap:         192.168.1.3 : allow
rpc.ugidd:       192.168.1.3 : allow

This is to allow 192.168.1.3 to access files from 192.168.1.1
NO mountd here in mine.

Looks OK

I took a tip from the NFS Howto
Quote
  If you edit /etc/exports you will have to make sure nfsd and mountd
knows that the files have changed.  The traditonal way is to run
exportfs.  Many Linux distributions lack a exportfs program.  If
you're exportfs-less you can install this script on your
machine:
        
  ______________________________________________________________________
  #!/bin/sh
  killall -HUP /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
  killall -HUP /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd
  echo re-exported file systems
  ______________________________________________________________________

I run this on each of my NFS Servers. My Potato & Woody boxen didn't have this.
