First, ditch the HTML in your posts. Thanks.
Have you tried FTP Software's InterDrive Client? It may have a different
name now as part of a suite of products. I use IDrive at work to connect to
our Unix boxes' exports. Never tried a connection to Linux tho. FTP
Software used to have 30 day demos of there software for tryout of problems
like these. YMMV

Subject: [expert] PC NFS client using pcnfsd or NIS
Hi there,
Have anyone tried installing a NFS server and then accessing from a windows
pc (95/98)?
I know that Samba is a better and perhaps more secure solution but my
provider has bloked the samba ports.
I have a NFS server running on my linux mandrake and I am able to mount them
from another linux system but alas not from windows.
My first idea was to install pcnfsd the pc authentication demon but I think
it messes up when the system uses shadowed passwords. I installed the
shadowed verson of pcnfsd but still no access.
By the way, the configuration of the demon is rather weird. You don�t
specify anything related to the users.
My second option was to use NIS although I�d rather not since the server is
standalone and therefore I don�t need the NIS distributed features.
However the pc clients I have tried to use is giving the option of
authentication using NIS.
I now have a NIS server up and running but my pc client still doesn�t
authenticate.
I have tried the following clients:
ICE-NFS
OmniNet Lite
Any ideas????
With regards,
Mads Rasmussen
