Sorry I can't be more specific. Hope that helps.

Oh, and another thing is I think we had to specify the NFS version (2,3, or 4.....try them all if necessary) on the mount command to be compatible with the WD.

And one more thing.....you may need to enable NFS on the WD......

Well, I can ping the NAS now but showmount <IP> gives nothing at all.

Its remote from me but they tell me its been set up with share called public.
Gonna check that NFS is enabled.
