First of all, it isn't a problem with your network card(s). You may
(should) want to upgrade your kernel to at least 2.0.36 and compile nfs
support into the kernel. Also make sure you select "Emulate SUN NFS
server" (This makes things work better). Next you should upgrade the the
latest version of the nfs daemons (the one recomended for use with the
2.0.36 kernel in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes.txt), but make sure
that it's the fixed version without the remote exploit. It you do all
this and still no luck, I'd be more then happy to help you more. I have a
linux machine with 2.2.5 and I successfully mount to and from a solaris
2.7 machine and an hp 10.20 machine.
