Greetings:
I have recently reconfigured my home network. I am fairly confident
that I have the IP numbers correct. I have two FreeBSD books and
a Cisco exam study guide which agree with my numbers. I can ping,
telnet and mount from any *nix machine to another, and can access the
internet from any machine. Samba works correctly.
The problem I am having is that NFS will often hang, particularly
when I try anything ambitious like backing up the laptop to the PC
(FreeBSD on both machines)
It has even happened when editing a text file accross an NFS mount.
Am I overtaxing my laptop to be using it as a router like this?
I have to go back to the old configuration to do a laptop-to-PC bacup.
This is what I have now:
pub pri ep0 (pccard) ed1 | 100BaseT Hub |

firewall and NAT 133mHz 80MB RAM | |

This is what I had before, it ran fine with no problems.
