Hi Matt,
   OK, ethereal was pretty easy to use, and it does indeed show that
I'm using TCP for packat transfer. I see a proto=NFS packet followed
by a number of TCP packets with sizes of 8K bytes so this seems to
verify that both options I was looking for ar indeed working.

    Thanks!

   Unfortunately this means I'm no closer to the root cause of my real
problem which is mythbackend shutting down without warning. It
happened again just a few minutes ago. This all started happening
after I brought this NFS mount on-line as storage for the mythbackend
server. I suppose I'll have to go back to the reduced storage option
(15 hours instead of 120 hours) and make sure that it's really this
disk/PC/network connection.

   Thanks again for your help.

Cheers,
Mark
