Thank you. I wasn't aware of that. I wonder what was causing a difference in that case, because it certainly appeared to cause problems. Regardless, I now have a (moderately) working setup, using UDP, NFSv2. The only problems that I have had so far have been starting netscape. It caused the hang every time. Renaming my ~/.netscape directory to something else caused the problem to go away... Anyhow, thanks for your help, folks. -- Dom Mitchell -- Palmer & Harvey McLane -- Unix Systems Administrator ``Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.'' -- Henry Spencer To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
