There may be different packages needed if you aren't used to woody. I
am on unstable and here are the ones I used:
ii nfs-common 1.0.3-1 NFS support files common to client and
serve
ii nfs-user-serve 2.2beta47-15 User space NFS server.
Maybe you installed nfs-kernel-server instead and the kernel isn't
configured for it? I used nfs-user-server and setup was trivial as you
describe above. I'll assume you can ping each other, by hostname?
