NFS Mount on Mac??

Hey all,

I am in need of a little help. I need to mount my Windows 2003 server share to my macs using NFS. Currently, I am using samba to connect to the server and mount, but I need to use a UNC path (//Server/Share) to connect now so that the network is completely heterogenous.
Any ideas on how? I've tried a few things, but I keep getting a "permission denied" error, that I can't seem to figure out.

I've tried:

mkdir server
mkdir server/share
mount nfs -t server:/share /server/share

That looks like its going to work, but if i try to list the contents of the directory, then i get the permission denied error.

Any help would be appreciated,

thanks,
Ross
 
do you mean NTFS?

NTFS is supported under macos X as read only, i'm afraid. fat32 is read/write, but NTFS is completely read only.
 
well, i meant nfs (network file system). It's a protocol that allows different operating systems to share files....

When all else fails, read the MacOS X Help menu, although the solution seems obvious:

Select Go>Connect to Server...
Type: nfs://DNSname/pathname
