I believe this is included in the somewhat oxymoronic Windows Services for
UNIX - free download from the evil empire:

Hi all;

Samba is performing rather well on the school network (am seriously
considering decomissioning Win2K server entirely, if only Bill would
refund our educational licenses), and it struck me that the ideal solution
would be to mount NFS drives natively on our Win2K & WinXP client PCs.

Does anyone know of any Free/Open NFS clients which exist for Windows? I'd
rather not reduce the already miniscule IT budget by purchasing the
Win2k/WinXP resource kit, which does have "Unix interoperability tools"..

Google was rather unhelpful on this matter, or rather, I couldn't squeeze
the above two paragraphs into succinct search terms.. (that's friday
afternoons I suppose).

TIA;
Jeremy
