I downloaded a large file on a laptop which I cabled with crossover cable 
to a desktop that has a CD burner which I want to burn the file with.
The desktop is full so I don't want to copy the file to it.

I tried to set up NFS and failed.
Both network modules are installed.
Using 2.4 kernels configured as follows:

CONFIG_NFS_FS=m
CONFIG_NFSD=m
CONFIG_SUNRPC=m
CONFIG_LOCKD=m

/etc/exports reads
/ 192.168.1.1(rw,no_root_squash)

On the laptop (server):

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1
rpc.portmap
rpc.mountd
rpc.nfsd

On the desktop (client) next:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2
insmod sunrpc  (not needed for BL3 'big')
insmod lockd    "   "
insmod nfs
rpc.portmap
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/ /mnt


(I also tried inserting nfsd on the client computer).

mount:  192.168.1.1:/ failed, reason given by server:  Permission denied.

What did I do wrong or omit?
I tried making an /etc/hosts.allow with 192.168.1.2 in it.
portmap:  192.168.1.2 : allow

The server (laptop - 192.168.1.1) is not letting me mount it to the 
client (desktop - 192.168.1.2)

I ended up deleting a few files and copying the file using
BL 'send' and 'receive' scripts (netcat).
