Follow the steps given below to solve your problem:

• Start portmapper from command below:

/etc/init.d/portmap start

• Include folder which you would like to share to export folder.

/raid5 192.168.10.20/25(rw,no_root_squash)
start nfs
/etc/init.d/nfs start

• In Windows box go to extra windows skin tone and programs. Install NFS client.

showmount -e <ip of other machine>
mount \\<ip of other machine>\raid5 r:\

You just turn off Firewall and then you able to share folder with ubuntu. As there chance that problem happening because of problem in permissions. So, try this and check whether you able to solve your problem.
