In other words, I do not know, off hand, how to mount a disk across the Internet between a Windows server and a UNIX server, sorry. If you find an answer, let me know because I would like to mount a remote Linux filesystem across the Internet on my XP workstation.
Well, I tried this:

I mounted the drive I needed on the Unix server:

mount -f NFS 10.0.0.10:/shared /u/unixshared

It mounts to my Windows machine.

Now, if I try to introduce a webshare on that folder
on the Windows machine, it doesnt allow me to do
so.

I guess, this project is scrapped. Don't think my
boss is going to like this very much.

Thanks Neo

showmount

SHOWMOUNT(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      SHOWMOUNT(8)

NAME

     showmount -- show remote NFS mounts on host

SYNOPSIS

     showmount [-Ae36] [-a | -d] [host]

DESCRIPTION

     showmount shows status information about the NFS server on host.  By default it prints the names of all hosts that have NFS file systems
     mounted on the host. See NFS: Network File System Protocol Specification, RFC 1094, Appendix A, and NFS: Network File System Version 3
     Protocol Specification, Appendix I, for a detailed description of the protocol.

     -A      Search for NFS servers advertised via Bonjour.

     -a      List all mount points in the form: host:dirpath

     -d      List directory paths of mount points instead of hosts.

     -e      Show the host's exports list.

     -3      Use mount protocol Version 3, compatible with NFS Version 3.

     -6      Use only IPv6 addresses to contact servers.

SEE ALSO

     mount(1), mountd(8), nfsd(8), mDNSResponder(8)

BUGS

     The mount daemon running on the server only has an idea of the actual mounts, since the NFS server is stateless.  showmount will only display
     the information as accurately as the mount daemon reports it.

HISTORY

     The showmount utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
