Take a look at this technical advisory for the STL2 board, I'm fairly sure this is your issue. http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-010790.htm IP fragmented packets as part of an NFS file transfer are improperly being identified as TCO management packets and are being routed to the BMC. The fix is to upgrade the BMC firmware. Updated BMC firmware and BIOS images for this board are available at http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/STL2/sb/CS-007118.htm - Chris
