I posted my experiences with this to BL a few years ago.

You also need rpc.portmap rpc.mountd rpc.nfsd on one machine and three 
modules (sunrpc lockd nfsd) and rpc.portmap on the other.

See tcpip1.tgz for the above rpc files.

See http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/rpc-on
and http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/nfs-on

You run nfs-on on the client computer and rpc-on on the gateway (server?) 
computer (with the wireless card, connected to the internet) and you need 
the 'big' (or bare.i Slackware) kernel (or my latest 2.4.31 kernel).

(I don't think I needed that part - you just have to assign IP numbersand 
know what they are on both machines).

See my scripts.  Several steps missing.
