Have you tried my suggestion of replacing "10.10.10.2" with "*" in your server's exports, as a test? It will tell us whether you have an IP aliasing issue. As for TCP, no special mount parameters are required. The timers and algorithms are all adaptive and preconfiguring them is often counterproductive. You still haven't shown "uname -a" for your client, but if it's anything recent, you don't even need to specify tcp, it's the default. Tom.
