nfs

I'm trying to use nfs; the sever's ip is 192.168.0.1;

in the /etc/exports file i put the following line:

/home/share/movies
192.168.0.0/24(ro,sync,insecure,all_squash)

so now I though i could mount the share on any computer of the sub-net
as follows:

mount 192.168.0.1:/movies /mnt

but it doesn't work!

I have to mount it as follows:

mount 192.168.0.1:/home/share/movies /mnt

for it to work.

BTW, does anyone know how to define the name (i think DNS).
say for example "my.lan" the name i would like.
what should i set to make any user in the sub-net to be able to mount
as follows:

mount my.lan:/home/share/movies /mnt

.
