NFS usually comes with UNIX like systems (Linux, *BSD, etc.). The tool (server/client) for interacting with Windows networks is Samba. It is available in the ports collection as 'net/samba' (version 2) or 'net/samba3' (version 3). The Samba version has nothing to do with the protocol version, so you can install the one you want. The manual page samba(7) lists all the client/server tools provided by the Samba suite. It installs some documentation at '/usr/local/share/doc/samba/'. For more information about Samba (docs, exmaples, etc.): http://www.samba.org/ To configure a Samba server there are basic instructions at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-samba.html But if you just want to mount a SMB share, you can use the type 'smbfs' with mount (no port installation required). Alternatively you can use the client programs that come with Samba. Exmaple: mount -t smbfs //user@server/share /mnt or mount_smbfs //user@server/share /mnt See mount_smbfs(8) for more information (IP, WORKGROUP, etc.). Best Regards, Ale
