CentOS - Apr 2008 - NFS mount problems

This morning my laptop could not connect to the server by its fstab mounts.  I 
restarted nfs and restarted the network on the server, all without making any 
difference.  Restarting the network brought

Bringing up interface borg2:  RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Error adding address 192.168.0.40 for eth0.

but ifconfig shows the correct address for eth0.

What else should I look for?

I presume these lines are relevant -

Apr 26 11:11:52 borg2 automount[2547]: create_udp_client: hostname lookup 
failed: No such process
Apr 26 11:11:52 borg2 automount[2547]: create_tcp_client: hostname lookup 
failed: No such process
Apr 26 11:11:52 borg2 automount[2547]: lookup_mount: exports lookup failed 
for .directory

What is the cause of this?  Thanks
