    I have several Sun Solaris 8 and RedHat Linux 9 NFS servers. From
    inside our building all is good. From home, on my Sun or my Linux box
    I've defined each server in /etc/hosts and I can mount and operate on
    any file system that I like weather it's from a Sun or Linux NFS server.

    We have an employee who lives across the county and he's on Verizon DSL.
    He's running RedHat 9 on his workstation. He can get to the Sun
    exported NFS shares just fine but he can not get to anything that's
    shared off of any of the RedHat servers. Meanwhile I can get to them
    just fine. He sees nothing more than a timeout most of the time.
    Although sometimes he can get into a share, maybe get part of an ls or a
    do a more on a file before seeing a timeout.

    Does this sound like it's a client problem or a server problem? What
    should I be looking at to try and resolve this problem? We have about a
    dozen Sun servers that he's fine with (and he even builds software whose
    source is remote mounted) and about half as many Linux servers that
    exhibit this problem.

    Any ideas?
