Hi again,

to communicate between the two of you is kinda funny. But anyway here is what the SFU guy said.
Concerning your questions: The server is a Linux machine (kernel 2.4.19) with the kernelbased
nfs daemon running.
I am very curious to see the result of this discussion.

Regards Jan Behrend

     is contacting port 80 threetimes before showing the share's contents. Since
     these udp >packets are filtered the client times out, which is annoying. I
