The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Unable to Mount NFS share on Unix systems from Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server systems

Zones: NFS File Server, Samba File Server, Microsoft Server

Tags: Microsoft, Windows Services for Unix, 3.5, need to access NFS share on Unix systems from Windows clients

NOTE: IP Addresses of servers have been removed denoted by <IP Address Removed>
I have Windows Services for Unix installed on a Windows XP and Windows 2003 server system.
Client for NFS is installed on both of these clients along with Server for PCNFS and User Name Mapping.
Attempting to access NFS shares that have been exported on an AIX and HP-UX systems.
I have attempted to mount the shares from the command line as follows:
C:\>mount t: -o pcnfs=localhost \\<IP Address Removed>\home\nfsuser -u:nfsuser -p:nfs123
Network Error - 121
Type 'NET HELPMSG 121' for more information.

I have also setup User Mapping so the account I'm logged into the system with is mapped to the nfsuser account that is on the Unix host. However, I am unable to authenticate using this method either.

I am able to see the NFS shares from Windows Explorer - When I click on the share I get the following error in a dialog box:

"<IP Address Removed>\baan\nfs is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator fo this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found".

NOTE: The NFS shares are "wide open" - meaning the permissions are ok and have been tested from another Unix machine. I.E. - The NFS Share CAN BE mounted from another Unix server.

From the Windows machines if I run showmount I do see the shares as being accessible.
C:\>showmount -e <IP Address Removed>
Exports list on <IP Address Removed>:
/home/nfsuser All Machines
/baan/nfs All Machines

C:\>showmount -e <IP Address Removed>
Exports list on <IP Address Removed>
/sapmnt/DBW/profile All Machines

I have been reading through all the doco from Microsoft that I can find regarding the setup of Windows Services for Unix. Links to sites that contain information regarding SFU probably won't help me at this point. I'm looking for someone who has experience configuring and using SFU.

Regards,
Mark
