So I'm having no problems mounting disks from any Suns.  Just for
grines, I just exported a directory on my new Ultra running Slowlaris
2.5.

ultra:/etc/init.d # uname -a
SunOS ultra.sri.MT.net 5.5 Generic_103093-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1

It works fine.

What kind of ethernet card do you have on the PC?  If it's one of the
'slower' ones, you may want to kick the packet size down to 1K (I don't
remember how, check out the manpage).
