MTU was the same on all machines, also on the one that worked.
I changed it to a lower value but that didn't change anything.

Where can I find out if the versions are ok? I couldn't find anything
on the NFS site.

I'm using Sarge on the SS5 and on my PC, the SS5 runs with Debian's

At least now I know what to look at. So now I have to see _why_ UDP
causes this strange behaviour.

Thanks to all for their help.
