FYI if SMB lacks on performance... and you want to run a NFS Server you just need to install

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...laylang=en

With them you can easyly run a NFS Server

there is a good german page for config... ..

iaccording ms... see link

http://support.microsoft.com/default.asp...-us;932244

especially the NFS server is not included in the new SUA "Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications"

so the alternative would be cygwin that also has some issues .. as reported in other forums

http://www.csparks.com/CygwinNFS/

there is a 2GB limit and under xp it is much slower then SFU "Services for UNIX"

alternative not tested yet.. http://freenfs.sourceforge.net/

I think Hanewin NFS Server is what people like to use for Windows 7. I've never used it myself.

I did get NFS working very well with Windows Home Server using Services for Unix. So far it seems to have cleared up all my stuttering issues both in XBMC and on a WDTV Live box.

For anyone with a compatible version of Windows, this is how I did it (see my post midway down this page):

Pretty sure I've read that a lot of people use "HaneWin NFS" with Windows 7. Haven't tried it myself, but maybe it would help you. I don't even know if it's free.

I haven't tried it but does Tvix Netshare software work with XBMC ?

It was developed for Tvix media players which used NFS primarily, it's pretty easy to setup and install however it only allows sharing up to 4 entries.
