Windows 7 has some NFS functionality but it is turned off by default.  You enable it in the programs & features applet in the control panel.

 

At a command prompt, I typed:

 

Mount \\server\mnt\cache N:

 

a mapped drive was created and an explorer window opened up and displayed my cache drive.

 

BUT, when I dbl clicked on a subfolder, I got an error msg:

 

N:\Temp is not available.

Access is denied.

 

Can someone help me  :'(

 

 

 

First guess would be that user permission don't much. Try exporting the share on the server by setting anon=true and o=rw. Then mount it again on the client.

Pardon my Linux unawareness... where do I set those?

 

I also get the "Access is denied." message. Jim, did you get this to work?

When you have your NFS mounts mounted on Win 7, you can right click and change the privileges of your mounts. You can do this on the server side as well. However, win 7 / NFS combination does not compete with SMB in Win environment, at least not in my setting. On the other hand, the speed gain with NFS in Mac Os X clients is awesome.
