RE: Mounting NFS file share

["Grizzly Malchow" <grizzlym@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks everyone. 
I guess I wasn't entirely sure about the differences of the two. I
understand now. I did know I would need NFS running on the other server
in order to use to mount a *NFS file share. I didn't know the server
running Windows 2003 that I was trying to share with didn't have NFS
support. 
Am I safe to assume that regardless of the differences I need NetServer
configured correctly in order to use either?

Clarification noted - my point was that NFS has nothing to do with 
Windows networking, which is implemented in NetServer and QNTC on
iSeries.

Reason I made the point is that the original poster seemed to be 
putting NFS and QNTC together.
