I wonder, do you see the retuned IP address to be the IP address of 
the first up network interface? If so this is due to the portmapper 
(I think) binding to the first IP interface it finds which is marked 
up.

Try using NFS with point-to-point interface set upand ifconfig'd  on 
the parallel port but nothing on the other end but. Probe the 
parallel port before any of the NICs and watch things fall over...

PS. Of course, this may have been fixed, but it was a problem about 
9months ago when I was playing with a laptop.;-)
