If other machines on this NFS server have no issues then you can eliminate the NIC on the server from suspicion, but the NIC on the problem machine might be having a problem. Check your cable connections while you're at it. How are you mounting the NFS share? If you are using AutoFS your mount may be timing out. Does the problem machine access the share actively or does it tend to sit for a while between access attempts? -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registerd Linux user No #267004 www.counter.li.org ****
