OK Actually taking another look at it it is FreeBSD 2.2.1 (perhaps an
upgrade would be good).  mrhowell and mshowell know eachother via DNS.
Here are some answers to your questions:

  1) what do you see in /var/log/*
    on mshowell (the server) nothing
    on mrhowell (the client) 

Aug 11 17:53:20 mrhowell /kernel: nfs server mshowell:/usr/home/coffee:
not responding
Aug 11 18:01:30 mrhowell /kernel: nfs server mshowell:/usr/home/coffee: is
alive again
Aug 11 20:21:12 mrhowell /kernel: nfs server mshowell:/usr/home/coffee:

  2) what do you see with dmesg
     nothing interesting

  3) what's your disk configuration on your server
     What exactly are you looking for?

  4) what's your network configuration 'twixt the client and server
     The two servers are connected via 100 MB FE

  5) how 'bout netmasks, simple stuff...
     fine

  6) are any of the machines dual-homed
     dual-homed?  I don't believe so
