To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Tue, 5 May 1998 18:18:38 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL32 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello all I have solved my problem with the NFS mount via a web page at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook227.html. By lowering the packet size, the NFS works perfectly. It says that most often this is due to a cheap or 16 bit card. I am using pentII 266 machines both with Intel 10/100 pci cards. I even tried moving the server to a 3com card with no luck. Does anyone know why there should be such a problem with these cards? I thought the Intel was a good card.
