I also had problems with this, but I had changed some NFS parameters so I am not sure if that it what affected my setup. I got around it very simply by changing the patch cable from the 1 GB connection on the 3COM router to a 100MB connection. So far I have not noticed any speed issues, so I have not changed the NFS config back yet.
