I think this may be a valid point, actually.  The XP server probably has
other network interfaces defined (dial-up, or wireless if you have a
laptop, or a VPN of some sort).  Most likely they aren't enabled.  Some
programs (notably X, but probably the NFS server as well) may latch on to
the wrong interface, which is disabled.  X has a -from parameter to
specify which interface to use.  Don't know if NFS has a similar
parameter, but it may be worth investigating.

HTH,
