Yassen, >From the messages that you sent, it looks like your server is configured for 192.168.100.254, but your workstation is trying to point to 192.168.0.254 as the nfs server.
Check the root-path entry in the dhcpd.conf file. Make sure you've got the correct address there. Also, take a look at your /etc/exports file and make sure that you are allowing the correct range of IP addresses to access the NFS shares. Also, the 'showmount -e' command can be helpful. One last thing to check is the netmask and broadcast on your server.
