I am confused..... what exactly does NFS do? Maybe we should do both!
Below is the /etc/exports file i created for the computer I decided to make
the server

     # /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be
exported
     /            192.168.0.0(ro) 192.168.0.1(ro) 192.168.0.4(rw,sync)
     /home    192.168.0.2(ro,sync)

(computers)

     (192.168.0.0) I don't know where this device is. I figure it has to do
with the router.
     (192.168.0.1) Is the address to the router
     (192.168.0.2) is the address to the windows box
     (192.168.0.3) is the address to the designated server
     (192.168.0.4) Is the address to the laptop wifi

This is /etc/hosts.deny:

     portmap : all
     lockd : all
     mountd : all
     rquotad : all
     statd : all

this is /etc/allow:

     portmap 192.168.0.0/192.168.0.4
     lockd :  192.168.0.0/192.168.0.4
     mountd :  192.168.0.0/192.168.0.4
     rquotad :  192.168.0.0/192.168.0.4
     statd :  192.168.0.0/192.168.0.4

this being completed the next step in my guide tells me that these daemons
need to be started:

*   *  rpc.portmap     rpc.mountd,
     rpc.nfsd     rpc.statd,
     rpc.lockd (if necessary), and     rpc.rquotad

google says that startup scrips are in /etc/init.d but in that
directory the only rpc is rpcbind-boot which is a link to
/lib/init/upstart-job
which is a script... one of the lines in it says:

     # Symlink target for initscripts that have been converted to Upstart.

I'm a little lost! How do I get these scripts and add them to init.d
or where should I put them?
