Regards, Mike I wouldn't know the right order, and even if you did stop and start everything in the right order, it may not fix the problem. Your problem could be in the network stack, or someplace else. That is why I usually: "If in doubt, reboot it out" Your users already couldn't connect correctly, so no real harm in a reboot. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Turned out my NFS was misconfigured - I had a weird flag in /etc/rc.conf that was preventing mountd from loading. Could be someone made an undocumented change - you may want to check it. > My question is, in troubleshooting this sort of thing, is there a > proper sequence for stopping and restarting the various services > associated with nfs?

Something like: /etc/rc.d/mountd onereload /etc/rc.d/nfs restart I think that does it all. Otherwise, there's always shutdown NOW and then a ctrl-d. If you're not sshing in, of course.
