Did you restart nfs after editing /etc/exports ? i.e.
sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop
sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs staart

Wildcards are a poor idea. Use numeric Network/NetMask to export to a
whole domain, ie:
/ASTERIX-HDC3 your.network.number/your.netmask (rw,no_root_squash)
for example if your domain is 123.456.789.0 and netmask is 255.255.255.0
it should look like:
/ASTERIX-HDC3 123.456.789.0/255.255.255.0 ((rw,no_root_squash)
