Charles,
That might be it, but I have to check with the admin of the Windows server to be sure. What command would he use to create an NFS share?

But do you have the folder shared via NFS on the Windows system?
Windows standard file sharing is done via SMB; not NFS. You'd have to have
the "Unix Tools" loaded in windows to share a file via NFS.

I am attempting the following command:

Or, refer to the getaddrinfo() API in the Socket programming topic

for
more information about recovery actions for this problem.
- The target system name is in the hosts table (I can PING it), and I get
the same error if I use the IP address.
- /SharedFolder is a share on the remote (Windows) system.
- I can view the directory using Windows Explorer.
- /LocalFolder/Mark/ exists on the local IFS.
Can this be an authority issue? It would seem to be that it didn't get
that far, since the message seems to indicate that it can't locate the
server.
How would a user ID and password get passed to the remote server?
