I'm still learning this whole Solaris thing, so I'm making a few mistakes here and there.

I have a Solaris 9 machine as my development webserver. My developers have SunBlade 100's with PCI cards installed so that they can run Windows software. I have the root directory on the web server shared as via NFS. Each developer's computer mounts the nfs share onto a local directory. That directory is shared out locally on the machine, and under Windows, I map that shared directory as a new network drive. This way my users can edit files directly on the development server without using FTP or Samba. (I confess that I'd prefer FTP or Samba to NFS; however, I was given strict orders by my boss on how to do this.)

Now, one of my users' SunBlades can no longer see the NFS shared directory on the development server. Naturally, he swears up and down that he did not change anything on the computer, and as far as I can tell, all of the appropriate files are unchanged: /etc/vfstab is intact, and when I execute the "mount" command I see the mount point just fine. But when I cd to the mount point, I do not see the directories on the remote share. Nor can they be browsed to through Windows.

FTP works fine on this machine, so I have the user using an FTP client to move files back and forth. However, I'm puzzled as to why NFS no longer seems to be working for the computer.

What should I be looking for? Any ideas on how to fix this?
