Could be a server problem... On the server, what do you get from:
netstat -l | grep 2049
If you see someting like this:
udp 16992 0 *:2049 *:*
^^^^^ (anything but zero)
retry the command; if still the same, get the nfsd crash data from
/var/log/kernel/warnings and send it in.
I've already reported that NFS sometimes crashes and only solution I can find
requires server reboot. I still have LM6.1 and LM7.2 machines in that state if
Mandrake want to get more info (what logrotate hasn't removed).
