I'm having trouble with mounting remote filesystems in NetBSD 0.9. Basically,
my PC is in a LAN of 3 PC's connected with ethernet running NE2000 cards.
The other two PC's are running NetBSD 0.8. They can mount the directories
that I put in my /etc/exports file, but I cannot mount theirs. I get a
"nfs server not responding" message. The other curious thing is that on
the remote machine that I am trying to mount, the 'showmount' command
shows my hostname, as if the connection was made. Any clue what might
be causing this problem?

I should mention that I've made sure I have the correct options in the
kernel, like NFS, NFSSERVER, NFSCLIENT, etc. The other PC's have this
as well. We all also have the server and client flags set in netstart.
We communicate just fine with telnet, ping, and others. Mount seems to
be the only problem, and only when I try to mount them. I'm wondering
if there's a problem mounting somebody runnning 0.8 if I'm on 0.9

Thanks in advance for your help...
