You may consider using samba instead of PCNFS.

Make sure rpc.nfsd and rcp.mountd are running (depending on the version,
probably rpc.rquotad and rpc.statd as well).

 Hi,
    I think you better change to use samba server, that is better, don't
need install
NFS clinet on your PC, just use M$ netbeui.

Actually, technically, my recollection is that SAMBA works only over
TCP/IP, not NetBEUI.

There could be many reasons that your nfs is not working. You should run nfsd
indebug mode and look at the syslog to find out exactly what it doesn't like.

Is your tcp/ip working yet? Can your server and PC ping each other?
You need to post more information in order for us to help.

BTW, what is the difference between PCNFSD and nfsd? I only have nfsd, and it
works
since the very beginning!

IMHO, opinion you'd be _way_ better off using samba.
(the unix implementation of windows SMB networking)
NFS clients for windows never seem to be satisfactory in terms of 
efficiency or reliability, but the samba server is known to do 
windows networking a fair bit faster than windows itself.
It also means no configuration on the windows end, and similar
degree of difficulty on the unix end.
Make sure you get the newest version, though,
