To do this, you need to enable PROXY ARP on VM TCP/IP. Check the VM list archive http://listserv.uark.edu/archives/vmesa-l.html for posts from Alan Altmark on PROXY ARP for intelligent explanations.

Are they on a guest LAN, or on CTC? If they're on CTC, that's your problem right there: there should only be a point-to-point connection, with netmasks of 255.255.255.255. If there's a subnet defined then everything probably thinks it can talk to everything else directly, which it can't: it's gotta go through VM. Is your NFS server another Linux virtual machine, or a desktop system, or what? Can you draw an ASCII picture of your network setup and who has which IP address and (importantly) netmask? That might help me figure out what you're seeing.
