There are 2 Linux boxes and 1 Windows box.  My test is a directory with a little over 
5 M of various size files copied between the 2 Linux boxes using either Windows or 
Linux.  Linux is, understandably, faster but it is still slow.  Windoze took 15 
minutes to do this copy.

Windoze is using nfsAxe from http://LabF.com.  This allows Windoze to be a nfs client 
or server.

Both /etc/exports files look like this:
/home  192.168.1.0/22(rw,no_root_squash)

One /etc/fstab looks like this:
oci:/home  /mnt  nfs  rw,noauto,user  1  1

The other looks like this:
server:/home  /mnt  nfs  rw,noauto,user  1  1

When NFS is working properly (and over UDP on a local ethernet) it is
very fast.  What's your configuration?
