Mounting an NFS File System under MS Windows 9x/ME

Before you can mount an NFS exported file system as a network drive:

• your host name must be defined in the hosts database on the NFS server from which you want to mount a file system
  
  
• the file system that you are trying to mount must be an exported directory on the remote system
  
  
• you require the appropriate permission to mount and access the particular file system.

NFS-Client can mount drives from Microsoft Explorer or through the Network Neighbourhood application.
