I am using 2.4.16 I am going to upgrade to 2.4.18 as you suggested and see if it makes a difference. My network is switched and is 10/100. Thank you for your suggestions.

If you have an overloaded 10 mbit/sec non-switched network NFS will hickup often. Second, I never trusted the NFS kernel server until the 2.4.18 or 2.4.19 kernel - it now seems stable, I'm running it in production on our servers without any troubles. So if you're still on a 2.2 kernel try a 2.4.<latest> one Mike. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
