First, look into the nfs howto, you'll find it by searching for 'nfs'
and 'howto' on the web.  Then here is a few things to consider:

Do you have firewall (iptables, ipchain, etc) between the computers?
Is portmap running?  (Try: 'ps aux | grep portmap' on both computers.)
Try to mount an nfs partition locally.
