hi I actually had tried that before I don't understand "the username created for this test" . How shoudl I proceed ? I tried the "map network drive", but windows pops up username/password sub-windows which I don't know which users to enter. As I recall, I don't create any username while installing NFS on my linux- host. thanks!! To map a drive letter to a UNIX-based NFS shared resource On a UNIX-based server running NFS software, create an NFS shared resource. Create a test file on the shared resource. Log on to the computer running Windows Server 2008 and Client for NFS with one of the Windows user accounts that you created for this test. Open Windows Explorer (My Computer) and on the Tools menu, click Map Network Drive. Type either the UNIX-style server and shared resource name (hostname://sharedresourcename) or the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path of the NFS shared resource on the UNIX file server, and then click OK.

I think your configuration doesn’t allow anonymous access. If possible, please edit the share permissions on Linus to allow anonymous access and test. Or create a user with password on Linux for Windows access. Add this user into the share permissions and try this user account from Windows side.

hey sorry for the late reply!! actually, I switched strategy and used SAMBA instead. I was trying to make IIS be able to read/write from/into a linux-mounted shared storage. SAMBA seems to do the job quite easily ;) but, thanks alot for your help!

Thank you for update. Glad to hear SAMBA works. If you have more questions in the future, you’re welcomed to this forum.
