I am running a FreeBSD 2.0.5R box, as an NFS server, on a Gateway 2000 
Pentium P5-100, 16 MB RAM, 2 GB Seagate SCSI, AHA 2940 controller, and 
3COM 3C509 card.  I have set aside 1.1 GB for mounting the filespace for 
user applications (DOS/Windows 3.1 based).  My clients are running WRQ 
Reflection suite, which includes a PC-NFS client.  This client works 
great with the version 1 pcnfsd on my AIX 3.2.5 box.  However, I cannot 
get these clients to "mount" to my FreeBSD box, even though they can "see" 
the exported filespace, they simply cannot mount. I've checked the 
permissions are set correctly, i.e. chmod 777 *. The pcnfsd on the 
FreeBSD is version 1 & 2 compatible, supposedly.  Does anyone have any 
idea what the problem could be?  Is it with the pcnfsd on the FreeBSD box?
Is it with the WRQ Reflection NFS clients?
Any help is severely appreciated.
