Re: RH8.0 nfs server, client RPC time_time_out issues

[Steve Dickson <SteveD@redhat.com>]

Hi,

Make sure there are not errors on the
network interface with 'ifconfig eth?'.

Also see what nfsstat -s says. See if your getting
badcalls or bad[whatever]....

I there anything interesting in /var/log/messages?
also ethereal (tethereal) will show any otw issues...

I hope this helps....
