Just to be clear - NetServer - which uses /QNTC - is not related to NFS, except by accident of some similar names.

Just to be clear about being clear :) NetServer is the program that lets Windows and Samba clients access the IFS on your System i. NetServer makes your System i appear in "Network Neighborhood". In other words, NetServer is the Windows Networking server for the System i.

/QNTC is not NetServer. It's "iSeries NetClient" (though they've probably changed the name to "i5 NetClient" nowadays).

/QNTC is the client-side that lets i5/OS access Windows and Samba servers. NetServer is the server-side that lets Windows and Samba clients access an i5/OS server.

They are related, but they're opposites. Just as Firefox is the opposite of an Apache server.

/QNTC on the iSeries does read and use some of the configuration settings that are configured in NetServer, and that might create the illusion that they're the same thing, but they're not :)
