Brian,

Thanks for the response.  What was strange about my setup was that it was
working just fine for a long time.  Then all of the sudden, one day, it
stopped working.  I don't know if it happened during a kernel update or
what.  I know I'm running NFSv2.  I don't know how to update myself to v3 or
above.

Jim
