OKay, I took this from the FreeBSD FAQ and this should help all: 10.7. Why can't I NFS-mount from a Linux box? Some versions of the Linux NFS code only accept mount requests from a priviledged port; try mount -o -P linuxbox:/blah /mnt I remember seaning something else about it, and the packet size, but I am dammed if I can remember.
