} That means, if I run the nfs client software from FTP Software, I will 
} get this problem, right? I have to check this, but I think you are right.
} 
} It is possible, that the error on "rpcinfo -b nfs 2" (even on localhost)
} only appears after a mount from the FTP inc client. I rebooted the 
} machine and tried "rpcinfo -b nfs 2" and there was no error message, but 
} there was no try to mount from the PC before.

Check into Samba, (cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/packages*/All/samba*) it takes
up less space on the pc and works quite well.

I've used pcnfs a lot in the past, but I prefer Samba.
