NFS: Problems connecting HP400t and SGI

[Mike Gigante]

The problem may be the PC router - we had a similar problem at this
site (b/n two SGI machines)

The PC ethernet cards have a small (4k? ) buffer, anyhow smaller than
the default packet size in NFS. You can change the NFS packet size to
be smaller that the PC buffer and then things worked for us.

see the nfs man poage for details.
