It's still there through 2.4.9-ac10. On a new Athlon 1.4 box, with a LNE100TX NIC it's there with the default kernel from Red Hat Linux 7.1 (2.4.2-2.i686.rpm), and on a P4-1.8GHz with the same NIC. The servers are Solaris8 and Solaris-2.6, Sparc machines, and the config hasn't changed in over a year on the 2.6 boxes. Anorthe system with RHL-6.2 (2.2.14-5 kernel and eepro100 NIC) has no trouble talking to the servers. What/how do I set debugging code on the 2.4 kernels to trak down this problem? It makes NFS mounted home dirs unusable. -Thomas
