I bet you're right.

Ah, thank you, Steven.

As of now, computer   'other'   shows the Linux is from 2.2.16 June 16 2000
(snipped)
The  /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/rtl8139.o  is 16,948 of April 7, 2005?
Should I be using the 16880 Mar  2  2004  module with BL 2.1?  Where would I 
get that?

When I use the  bzimage.big ( 759045 bytes) 
with BL 3.40 on this  'asus'  computer 
( uname -a says in part: Linux 2.2.26 Dec 5), 

and tell it

mount -t nfs  192.168.1.1:/  /other  

it waits a while, and then says a couple of times:

portmap:  RPC call returned error 5

and sometimes it also says

lockd_up:  makesock failed, error= -5

But after I get the command prompt back, and do a   df    ,

the other computer  _is_  mounted on  /other/  

???

Thanks also to Sindi,

Sheldon
