NFS Share Cannot Be Established from Windows NT Explorer

• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

You are unable to create a shared volume with PC-NFS using Windows NT Explorer.

CAUSE

PC-NFS was designed to work with Windows NT 3.5x and is unaware of Windows NT Explorer.

RESOLUTION

You must use File Manager with this product to create the shared volume.

MORE INFORMATION

The dialog box that provides for creating NFS shares in File Manger is not provided by Windows NT 4.0, but rather by PC-NFS. It does not appear in Windows NT Explorer because PC-NFS is unaware of Windows NT Explorer and is not designed to work with it.

This information applies to users of Intergraph's (and SUN's) PC-NFS, but may also apply to other NFS redirectors.

Intergraph and other vendors may make available versions of their products that work with Windows NT Explorer. Please contact your vendor for more information.
