I have installed ver. 2.2.5 on IBM Thinkpad using 3C589D PCMCIA card. 
I am using the Thinkpad as a server for a Dec Network Computer. I have a
similar setup using Gateway 486/66DX2 as server and it works flawlessly. 
However, my Thinkpad has network connectivity problems serving files to
the NC. The NC uses TFTP to download boot image, then uses NFS to access
root and usr filesystems on Thinkpad. TFTP seems to be OK, but NFS part
flakes out. I get the following errors:

/kernal: nfsd send error 55
(repeated many times)

Also, pinging other UNIX boxes on my network gets this error:
ping: sendto: No buffer space available

Also, netstat -s shows many UDP datagrams dropped due to no socket.

Looks like I need to do some TCP configuring, but I am very rookie with
FreeBSD configurations. 

Any body have any suggestions (other than the obvious about the
Thinkpad) on where/how to tune tcp settings? 

Also, is there any difference between 2.2.5 and 2.2.1 (my Gateway
version) in networking, specifically NFS support?

TIA
