Yes. You need to run NFs version 3 and not not NFS version 2.
And your applications need to be capable of using large files.
Verify that your applications can access files > 4 GB from local

I had a situation aruond 8-10 monthz back while mounting filesystem
from Solaris 8 on DEC systems:

1. The DEC server could mount exported FS from other solaris 7 systems
but none of the Solaris 8.
2. Solaris 7 systems could mount exported FS from that particular
Solaris 8 system.

All the servers were on the same subnet, no IP-firewalls, no wrapped
applications. We got a work-around for our immediate probl, escalated
to Sun and ruled this out as version-incompatibility. :-)
