I am currently using a D-Link DI-604 at this moment on my home network of
five machines. (Mac G3 OSX 10.3; FC6; F7t4*2; XPpro) and have no problems
with any of the machines seeing any of the others.

The one thing I had to do to on the FC6 box was to add an IPTables rule to
let local LAN traffic be accepted.

iptables -I INPUT -s <10.11.12.0/24>* -j ACCEPT


the <ip>* should be replaced with your local LAN network number (no angle 
brackets).  This lets the NFS packets travel freely on the LAN and no exposure
on the Internet.  Otherwise, on FC6, I found that there was no NFS access.
