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?

Subject: RE: Mounting NFS file share 

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.

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 :)
