As per my knowledge It supports a client part of NFS. ie. You can map a UNIX Volume on an NT Workstation.

Do a search on humming bird at www.yahoo.com it should

good luck,

I have HP-UX10.20 on servers and workstations. I use windows 2000 professional edtion. I want to configure my windows2000 as a NFS client of my UNIX NFS server. How to do?

hi,

please download the attached file. and follow the procedure.

On your HP 9000 machine.

cp nfsd /usr/sbin
/usr/sbin/nfsd 4 &

the second line starts the daemon . after this you can map UNIX volume on a win2 K machine by the following command.

Option 1.

Map network drive \\"ip address of hp9000"\volume name

Option 2.

net use r: \\"ip address "\file system name (mount point which is exported"


best of luck

Hi

Here first U will have to start pc_nfsd in hp Box. For that go to /etc/rc.config.d directory and edit nfsconf file.

Change the value of PCNFS_SERVER from 0 to 1.

Come out

#cd /sbin/init.d
#nfs.server stop
#nfs.client stop
#nfs.server start
#nfs.client start

#ps -ef | grep pcnfsd

Make sure that pcnfsd is running.

Now go to Win2K machine and load any communication S/W like Hummingbird (As Mr. Kapil mentioned above). After loading humming bird S/W, Go to network nighbourhood. Here U can map Unix drives by using IP address of HP box.

Best of luck

You can also use samba for UNIX, and use it to export a windows share. Samba supports NTLM, Netbios, netbios over tcpip, can serve as domain master, client, or slave and more. For more information, see www.samba.org

This uses all windblows native calls, so is much easier to use than hummingbird, and it's free.
