Problem with NFS share on windows7 ultimate

RevDrew -- Yep. I did that too and it worked for a bit and then stopped again. Ya know -- it's worth the 19 Euros to buy it as it does work beautifully and HaneWIN support was VERY responsive.

Leonardus -- despite comments made in some guides and websites, HaneWIN NFS DOES expire after the trial period and stops exporting shares -- at least with newer releases. The NFS services starts and then stops right away. You will see entries in your Windows APPLICATIONS Event Logs. Yuo will see a "Expired" message in the haneWIN app itself, but If you still wish to verify ...

1. Open a command prompt on the PC running HaneWIN NFS
2. Go to the PROGRAM FILES folder where haneWIN NFS is installed
3. from the prompt type "nfsd - debug"

If it has expired, you will see a nice little message.

interesting info ripper2860, mine has said it was expired for a few days at least, I will have to keep an eye on it.. we have been watching shows using it all along too..
I guess the next reboot will tell the tale.. I wont restart the server manually, no need to push my luck!

and yeah, the price isn't bad, I've spent more for less before..



leonardus- mine is running on Win 7 without issue (so far..)
32 bit, is yours 64 bit by any chance?

@ RevDrew,

Do you have also the w7 enterprice (or professional) environment as ripper2860?. Because of the important difference of the exportfile of you both.

ripper2860: >>> includes the readonly and after that an ip <<<

Leonardus --

The exports settings are not OS specific.

"-readonly" is not really required with the last 2 revs of firmware. There was an issue with getting a SPINNING CIRCLE OF DEATH when launching movies if the shares were RW. The newer firmwares auto-mount them as RO so it's not really needed anymore. Doesn't hurt to have it, though.

I also specify the IP of my WDTV because I only wish to only make the shares available for mounting just by the WDTV. I don't think you need it if the shares are exported to PUBLIC. Again -- doesn't hurt if the WDTV is the only device you mounting the exported NFS shares.
