Making the entries in the /etc/dfs/dfstab is not sufficient.
After making these entries, on the server you need to
use either the "shareall" if you did export things before,
or do a "/etc/init.d/nfs.server start" if you did not or
simply restart the server if possible.
After that check that the server is giving the mounts
free with the following command on the client: 
/usr/sbin/showmount -e "servername-as-you-use-it-in-vfstab".
If you don't see the exported mounts you might check into the
name resolution otherwise just do a "mountall" on the client
if you have already other nfs-mounts or do a
"/etc/init.d/nfs.client start" if you had not.

Hope that helps,
Wolfgang
