We're currently investigation an NFS issue; however to make sure it's not VMWare can you confirm normal TCP connections do work ?
Everything works OK (NetBIOS and TCP/IP connections) with the exception of an access to an NFS mounted volumes. I can see the directory but I cannot open it.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists.
