I have seen the same problem here.  I have the same versions of TCP/IP and
NFS.

In my case though, The remote mounted filesystems are exported from a Sun4 and
a Sun2.  Interactive System's support gave me the same info about using 
rpcinfo to get additional information.  They did not give any idea as to what
could be causing the problem.

Maybe the new release of TCP/IP coming out with 2.2 won't have this problem.
We will see . . .
