Have you eliminated the really dumb causes of such problems? Try
replacing the ethernet cabling on the problematic machine, and if that
doesn't fix things, try moving that machine to a different network
port or port on your network switches. Check the output from 'netstat
-i' to see if you're getting any bad packets.
I've had weird NFS problems like this which I spent ages trying to fix
in software, and then found that the problem was actually a marginally
broken cable.
Cheers,
Matthew
