A quick how-to with NFS share and xmount
1) Installed haneWIN NFS Server onto Windows 7 (http://www.hanewin.net/nfs-e.htm)
2) Configured (and run as Administrator) haneWIN NFS Server with the following share
F:\Scottie\Videos\BluRay -readonly -public -name:NFSMovies (This folder is where my media is stored)
3) Restart Server in haneWIN NFS - under 'Exports' tab /NFSMovies is now shown - in theory this folder is now accessible via NFS to any device that suppports NFS ***Make sure to forward/open ports 111, 1058, and 2049 in your router for both UDP and TCP. These are required for access to the NFS share***
4) xmount command in my case is
xmount 192.168.1.65:/NFSMovies Movies nfs
where IP is the address of your Win7 machine, "NFSMovies" is the name of your hanewin NFS share, and "Movies" is the name you wish WDTV to display.
That's it. Power cycle your WDTV and you should be ready to go.
Most of this info is cobbled together from different posts around the form. Credit to those where due.
(you might have to turn down you firewall to get it working, I had to anyway)
Test on WDTV:
display available exports on remote NFS server (the one you just set up)
$ showmount -e <NFS-Server-IP> <shareLocation> <clientIP>(<permissions>)
clientIP can be a list and should include the IP of your wdtv, or the IP block its in.
mount export
$ xmount "<NFS-Server-IP>:<shareLocation>" "<shareLabel>" nfs
If you have a Gen 1 WDTV (original WDLXTV) you *must* use nfs.app.bin. NFS capability is built in to WDLXTV-G2 and WDLXTV-Live

Notes:
- haneWIN is a popular paid for option.
- WinNFSd has not been developed since 2005 but works ok and gives a nice command window with logged output.
- WinNFSd is not installed as a service but this may be possible without too much trouble.
