Are you sending the correct response to the I AM request? The client could be getting confused if the reply is wrong.

Have you tried manually including the server address in the I AM command? ie: *I AM 0.254 FRED to bypass the client's defaults. You say you're using ANFS 4.25, so you're using a Master - if this fixes the problem it is likely the NVRAM FS configuration is wrong. Something people do *CONFIGURE FS 254 when you actually should do *CONFIGURE FS 0.254 - ie a fully qualified address.

Do you have a BBC you can test with NFS 3.xx, it doesn't preface an I AM with a NetPeek, so that would eliminate that part of the issue.

Can you get any debugging messages from your server? Almost all servers are capable of spewing out huge amounts of useful material, you want to be able to see something like:
0.020>0.254 *I AM FRED
0.254>0.020 Logon &03,&01,&02,&04
0.020>0.254 Openin !BOOT
0.254>0.020 Open not found

etc... Also, another machine with a verbose netmonitor is often crucial for debugging client-server transactions, as it will show the low-level network traffic. My preference is SJMon (I stopped writing my own version when I got hold of a copy).
