I have a LTSP server that works perfectly for my other LTSP clients,
but for one client NFS does not work.

The client says:
[...]
"Mounted devfs on /dev"
"Freeing unused kernel memory: 52k freed"
"nfs: server 192.168.0.254 not responding, still trying"

I can ping the client no problem:

[13:29:43]hans@samir:~>ping 192.168.0.4
PING 192.168.0.4 (192.168.0.4): 56 data bytes

64 bytes from 192.168.0.4: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=1.9 ms

syslog on the server says:
rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from ws004:800 for /opt/ltsp/i386 
(/opt/ltsp/i386)

tcpdump on the server says:

13:35:59.460548 ws004.146857427 > samir.nfs: 116 read [|nfs] (DF)

And then the following lines are repeated:

13:36:09.266495 ws004.146857427 > samir.nfs: 116 read [|nfs] (DF)
13:36:09.267279 samir.nfs > ws004.146857427: reply ok 1472 read (frag 50030:1480@0+)
13:36:09.267860 samir > ws004: (frag 50030:1480@1480+)
13:36:09.269062 samir > ws004: (frag 50030:1244@2960)

Occasionally mixed with lines like:

13:36:03.690757 arp who-has ws004 tell samir
13:36:03.691501 arp reply ws004 is-at <mac-address of the client>

The computers are connected through a hub. The firewall at the server
is told to accept every packet from the clients mac-adress.

The client is mentioned in /etc/hosts

The client boots netboot, since the nic Etherworks III, is not
supported by etherboot.

Clues, anyone?
