Try replacing the ethernet cabling on the problematic machine, and if that doesn't fix things, try moving that machine to a different network port or port on your network switches. Check the output from 'netstat -i' to see if you're getting any bad packets. I've had weird NFS problems like this which I spent ages trying to fix in software, and then found that the problem was actually a marginally broken cable.
