Has anyone ever had a problem like this?

	Im trying to NFS mount drives on an ELC running NetBSD1.1.  I can
mount exported directories from a Sun Sparcstation2 just fine.  But when I
try to mount my home directory (ie networkserver:/homedir) via NFS, the
terminal just locks up.  Not only that, but ANY program that attempts to
look at that "mounted" (the quotes are because I cant tell if anything is
even there, lets say in /mnt) directory, they lock up as well.  This
includes ls and df.  These processes wont even die if I use a kill -9 on
them.  Anyone know whats up with this?  Im not even using anything fancy
anymore, like amd.  Just

	mount -t nfs server:/homdir

This is really weird since it only applies to the main file server.  It
makes me think that there is a server side problem (it's running Solaris)
so I hesitate to ask this here.  Any help or sarcastic remarks would be
most appreciated!  :)

			Thanks
