With the internet off, check: ping from client to server by name ping from server to client by name Send us /etc/hosts, /etc/host.conf, /etc/hosts.*, /etc/nsswitch.conf Do you have a firewall that perhaps is changing config depending on internet status? What firewall do you use? Relavent error messages: 1. take a copy of /var/log/syslog on each machine. 2. Try to mount an NFS directory 3. Record any visible error messages on either box 4. Take another copy of /var/log/syslog on each machine and diff with the previous copy, and send the diffs, snipping off extraneous or sensitive data.
