NFS and Windows Services for Unix

Tried several 3rd party NFS clients to be able to access my home folders on the FreeBSD Netserver, without much luck. Downloaded MS Windows Services for Unix, set it up, had a hell of time with the the settings, but it's up and running finally. Kind of flaky on copying some files back and forth, but maybe with some tweaking, it'll all iron out ok. NFS was tricky to set up on the FreeBSD box, but I got a lot of help off the internet, especially at Oreilly's web site. As always, Dru Lavigne's site was helpful, too. Next project will be getting my old laptop still running OpenBSD 3.3 to mount the exported folders from the FreeBSD box.
