How do I tell NFS to simply give-up after X attempts (for other

verify that both your nfs and net service are at the same run level:
royw-gentoo etc # rc-update show | grep nfs
nfs | default
royw-gentoo etc # rc-update show | grep net
net.eth2 | default
netmount | default
local | nonetwork default
net.lo | boot
Also you might consider using autofs. I have two gentoo and one kubuntu
systems all cross sharing nfs mounts using nfs without any issues.
