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
