Hello,
I had thought I finally got NFS under SLIP to work, but now it turns out, I  
can read, but not write to the remote drive! This is not a permissions  
problem as I have the same group and user ID on both systems (at home and on  
the NFS server) and the disk is exported and mounted as rw. Also, I can make  
a file, it just happens to be 0 bytes long :-(

Here what I tried (while being in the remote directory):
heller 42 cpu> cp timetable.rtf ~/tmp
....this one worked just fine
heller 43 cpu> cp ~/tmp/timetable.rtf xxx
cp: xxx: Invalid argument
....here it took for ever. 
heller 44 cpu> ll           
-rw-r-----  1 heller   user       36434 Sep 25 19:08 timetable.rtf
-rw-r-----  1 heller   user           0 Sep 26 08:45 xxx

And on the console I get the following errors:
NFS write failed for server bern: RPC: Timed out

235e0000 


235e0000 


235e0000 


235e0000 

The entry in my fstab (in NetInfo) looks like:
bern:/Users     /Net nfs  
rw,mnttimeo=120,retry=10,timeo=100,retrans=10,intr,soft,wsize=1536,rsize=1536 
,bg,net,noquota 0 0 
.....(all in one line, of course)

Hoping to do the right and also a good thing, but not really knowing what I  
was doing, I changed the rsize and wsize to the same value as my MTU, which  
is given by my server.

Any help and hints are greatly appreciated,
thanks a lot in advance,
