I found out that the problem is caused by some files on my system that I received from Germany. The files have German words that contain the u-umlaut character in their name. Whenever I try to pass these files over NFS to the Mac, the connection dies. So, I renamed the files and now its all working fine. I'm not savvy enough about how each file system is handling character encodings, nor am I savvy enough about nfs internals to know if this is expected behavior (I expect not), but there it is. If anyone knows if and/or where I should report this, please let me know. Thanks, Alex -please cc me on replies as I am not currently subscribed ---------- Original Message ----------- From: "Kelly D.
