Why do you need NFS? I'm just curious.
From what I have read. if you are running Win7 Ultimate, there is a

If you don't want to change much, check out freenfs. It will give you what you

machines. It supports nfs/cifs(smb)/iscsi out of the box and can be expanded to
include media server duties. Easy to use web GUI too :)
