Hello when I try to start nfs the command hangs. I have found out, that the problem is, that I set an IP address at /etc/exports sample: /var/foo XXX.XXX.XXX(some rights)

You might want to make sure that the portmap daemon is running.
/etc/init.d/portmap status
will tell you if it is runnning. If it is not..fire it up.

After long waiting I get an RPC timeout error
What's in your /etc/hosts.{allow | deny}? Even if portmap is running, these files need to have the correct contents.
E.g. mine have
# hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are # allowed to use the local INET services, as decided # by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. # ALL: 192.168.2. 127.0.0.
# hosts.deny This file describes the names of the hosts which are # *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided # by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. # # The portmap line is redundant, but it is left to remind you that # the new secure portmap uses hosts.deny and hosts.allow. In # particular you should know that NFS uses portmap! ALL: ALL
