I don't think this is the issue - looking under "Network Connections", I
see only "Local Area Connection", Type "LAN or High-Speed Internet", Status
"Enabled".

However, after some more experimentation, I see the "ls /xp" eventually
does return, after about 17 minutes.  So it appears as though NFS kind of
works, but so slowly as to be useless.  There is no problem with other
types of network access, e.g., I am logged on to the client machine vai ssh
without problems.
