SuSE may have some 'how-to' on NFS and networking issues.

You probably have to consider firewall can block stuff so if you have
these computers on the same network, try to make this work with the
firewall settings off on the computers at first.

Now for the 'how-tos' - always check tldp.org (the linux documentation
project)

see the 'networking' and 'NFS' how-tos
