This test wil be fine, but as a guess, check the router configuration in
the Xserve machine and try to put *ALL* machines in the same network
and try to mount nfs directories from both wintel machine.
If problem persist, may be problems with NFS versions.

I'm still having trouble with NFS and my YellowDog server.
I have machines on both sides of a VPN. One side (192.168.1.x) has two
servers: one intel-based running RHL 7.1 and another running YDL 2.3 on
an Xserve. The other side (192.168.0.x) has a server running RHL 7.2
with many updates.
I have NFS servers running on all three linux machines. From network
1, I can mount NFS from network 1 and network 0 from linux systems and
OSX -- as expected. However, from network 0, I can mount and ls the
NFS from the RHL box on network 1, but there are problems with the YDL
box on network 1. It will mount fine, but doing an ls seems to timeout
or something. It takes a while to come back from an ls and it gives no
output.
I've made sure that NFS and NFS server support are built into the YDL
kernel (2.4.20-pre9-benh) for both v2 and v3.
I first suspected timeout issues, but when systems on network 1 have no
problems interacting with network 0, I doubt that.
The one last test I have to run is having an OSX system from network 0
try to mount the NFS from the YDL server on network 1. After running
that (tomorrow), I will have narrowed the problem down to the YDL
server.
Anyone else having issues w/ NFS on YDL 2.3? Anyone having success
running NFS from YDL through a VPN?
