nfs://192.168.0.2/home/sambait did not appear on the desktop. A quick look with the terminal, in the /Volumes/ directory showed that, indeed, it had mounted, in a directory named 192.168.0.2/.
The quick fix was to run this command.
ln -s /Volumes/192.168.0.2 ~/diskAny additional information about why this command was required is appreciated. Thanks.
