Hello,

Windows does not use NFS (natively), but it uses SMB networks (SMB is
the protocol). NFS usually comes with UNIX like systems (Linux, *BSD,
etc.).

The tool (server/client) for interacting with Windows networks is Samba.
It is available in the ports collection as 'net/samba' (version 2) or
'net/samba3' (version 3). The Samba version has nothing to do with the
protocol version, so you can install the one you want. The manual page
samba(7) lists all the client/server tools provided by the Samba
suite. It installs some documentation at '/usr/local/share/doc/samba/'.

For more information about Samba (docs, exmaples, etc.):

http://www.samba.org/

To configure a Samba server there are basic instructions at:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-samba.html

But if you just want to mount a SMB share, you can use the type 'smbfs'
with mount (no port installation required). Alternatively you can use
the client programs that come with Samba.

Exmaple:

mount -t smbfs //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/share /mnt
or
mount_smbfs //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/share /mnt

See mount_smbfs(8) for more information (IP, WORKGROUP, etc.).

Best Regards,
Ale
