I try to map d: to a file system that is in my exports file and the PC hangs.
Has anyone seen this problem.  I am able to use telnet and ping from these
machines but NFS is not working.

I have seen this indeed, it turned out in my case to be an incorrectly configured
PC/TCP stack on the DOS machine.  Altho, i am using 1.2.5 with the new
NFS-server 2.2 Alpha 3 package.

Try mapping the exported to file system to a drive >= F:.  Drives A-E
are  normally reserved for local drives under DOS, while drives >= F: are
reserved as net work drives.

Drives are drives...DOS isn't intelligent enough, a priori, to make
any distinctions.  The hang is probably due to the RPC request to the
Linux waiting for a response.  It is likely that one or more of
rpc.portmap, rpc.mountd, rpc.nfsd, rpc.ugidd or rpc.pcnfsd aren't
running on the designated server.
