Summary: NFS Problem

Summary:

Thanks to the following for their help:
   Joel Lee, Justin Zaglio, Geoff Weller and Sean Cheney
for their timely help.

Sean Cheney especially helped me learn more of what I needed to know
on the ifconfig command on Solaris 2.4. Their advice seems to have
fixed the problem.

I needed to do
        ifconfig le0 mtu 1450
 ( or some number less than 1500) on
the Solaris server and it seems to be fine now.

Again, Thanks for the great help.
