So I tried Unix Service for Windows. Installed it on XP Pro, not sure if you can use this on home edition w/o a reg hack. Once I got it installed I set up a folder to share using the standard folder properties. I had to reboot after installing the software so that the tab would show up.

It took me hours to figure this out but what I had set wrong was the Anonymous UID and GID was set to a “-2″ I checked on my /etc/passwd file on my os X box and -2 mapped to nobody and as an unprivileged user. That was not good. So I set anonymous GID on the xp box to 0, 0 is what is set to root.

Voila, I was able to mount the share from os x into windows XP using NFS with full control. Don’t forget the account “ANONYMOUS LOGON” which needs to be added to the “Security” tab of the fileshare on the xp side.

why can’t all os’s call the things in common the same name?

unix says /mnt and OS X says /Volumes if you want to do nfs mounts
