Hi,

I've got an interesting problem that cropped up recently, and I 
can't figure out why it used to work, and now it doesn't.

The scenario: A FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE system running NFS server
              A FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE system trying to mount from 
              above system

What happens:

The server has in /etc/exports:
/local   -alldirs -maproot=nobody:nogroup -network 198.168.36 -mask 255.255.255.0

The remote (198.168.36.71) can MOUNT /local, but any attempt to
access it (ls, mount, df, etc) it hangs.  'showmount -a' on the
server correctly shows the client having mounted the directory, and
'showmount -e vhf36' on the client correctly shows the mountpoints
on the server. 
I can see some sort of exponential retry timeout goingon by watching
the LEDS on the network card.

The only way to unstick the process is to reboot the client system.

To make matters worse, I can reverse the situation and correctly mount
a filesystem from the "client" system!

What have I done, this used to work just fine!

HELP!
