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)
