- The correct answer to this is "It works ok with my Sun so it must be the
- HP." You can rent a Sun for a week to prove it if you don't have one.
- Then say it a second time louder.

- It is probably a configuration problem. You probably don't have the
- PC set up correctly.
-
- If it really is a bug, then it is probably an HP, not a PCNFS problem.
-
- Lockds will be lockds. Send the HP guys a network general sniffer trace.
