Above seems fine.

Check your /etc/exports file to see if it was added.

Seems fine.

Not sure on the above fstab line, especially the end.

Do you have the proper services running on the machines?

Server
1 - service nfs restart
2 - service nfslock restart
3 - service portmap restart (maybe this one first)


Workstation
1 - mkdir /net
2 - service portmap restart

Then try remounting.
