To all people who have contributed to the problem I had to solve, it is fixed!! I will explain how. With all things we have tried it was clear that everything did work fine in xp. So it would be a problem in windows7. Today me and a colleague looked at all the settings in the firewall windows7. I didn'n now that windows 7 has 3 options in the advanced settings, a domain profile, a public profile and a private profile. All settings must be set to off (disabled). After i did this remote via rdp, one of the first things I did after I came home was to try it out. After a litle change in the haneWin export-file (ad -public) I started up the wdtv, amazing, it works!!

Hanewin exports:
j:\Muziek -name:Muziek -public
j:\Fotoos -name:Fotoos -public
j:\Films -name:Films -public

Thank you all for your time, a special thanks to KAD, Ripper2860, Refdrew and B-rad.cc, you have spend a lot off time to help me out.
I hope that every windows7 owner in combination with the hanewin nfs-server and wdlxtv can learn something about it.

That's GREAT!!!! Glad you got it sorted out.



BTW -- I have Windows Firewall enabled and it works fine once all of the needed ports are opened. But hey, you know it works and Windows Firewall is OVER_RATED anyway.

that's great news, congrats!

I only added an exception for nfs in the firewall (just the home section) and that was all I had to do..
strange though as you said your firewall was off and it wasn't working, if it was off according to what you just posted, it 'should' have worked fine..

weird windows stuff I guess..

Hi ho
ok time for me to interject my 2 cents
my box windows 7 ultimate with a wdtv plus
NFS works fine this is all u need to do
fire up hanewin and set your shares up correctly eg. (in my particular setup i chose to just share the entire machine makes it easier for me)
F:\ -name:F
E:\ -name:E
C:\ -name:C
D:\ -name:D
restart the server
head on over to wdtv i used flashfxp use whatever makes your schmekle hard.
goto the /tmp/conf folder and edit the cifs-interceptor file, mine looks like this
//192.168.0.100/C:|192.168.0.100:/C C-NFS|
//192.168.0.100/D:|192.168.0.100:/D D-NFS|
//192.168.0.100/E:|192.168.0.100:/E E-NFS|
//192.168.0.100/F:|192.168.0.100:/F F-NFS|

execute these commands
config_tool -c CIFSINTERCEPTOR=on
config_tool -s
reboot restart everything works
ya dont need xmount and ya dont need net.mount

obviously you need to edit the links for your particular situation and your ip address
lemme know if this helps anyone

any one tried freenfs from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenfs/ ?

I just gave it a quick try. Took less than five mins to install it (205 KB... Damn. That's tight for a Windows application), create an xmount, and copy a test file between the PC and the WDTV. Worked pretty well for me.

If you are using a firewall other than Windows's Firewall, double check its configuration.
