We have a DOS based server that uses PCNFS to communicate with clients on
a TCP/IP network.  One problem that we have had is that the server will
crash whenever a client from "far away" tries to connect to it.  A
connection from a "nearby" client does not crash the server.  As near as I
can tell, "far away" means two or more ip "hops".  Has anyone else had
this problem?

Sun support has been EXTREMELY slow in answering our query.
