I didn't try NFS over TCP, main reason being I figured that I have a 
reliable lint between the two PC I was testing with.. UDP having a lower 
overhead seemed the best choice for throughput.. I read that TCP was 
only required for networks that had a lot of collisions..

I will give TCP a try anyway...
