NFS server For Windows - HaneWIN - Better stream speed and resolves Win7/8 Samba issues
I can confirm the best results on all NFS servers I have tested with the Mede8er (inc Windows7) is HaneWIN
Simple setup instructions
1. Download HaneWIN
http://www.hanewin.net/nfs-e.htm 2. Install
3.
Allow following exe's in "Windows Firewall" or any other firewall software used
Directory -- c:/Program Files/nfsd
a) pmapd.exe
b) nfssrv.exe
c) nfsd.exe
4. HaneWIN settings
Run the desktop NFS server control app link using Administrator mode.5. Edit exports file then select "save" then select "Restart server"
exports example for whole drivee:\ -public -name:e
export example for folderd:\movies -public -name:movies
Export 'name' must not have any spaces6. Setup Menu ---> Network ---> NFS Options
Set Protocol to UDP
Set rsize to 32768k
6. On Mede8er Devices Page select NFS
7. All available NFS Shares on your network will be shown
8. You can also Probe a specific IP for NFS shares or enter them manually
Manual NFS example for whole drive --- 192.168.0.10:/e
example for folder --- 192.168.0.10:/movies
Now you should be able to navigate to your NFS shares

New Advice
Sharing an NFS server between an X3D and an X2
(Issue fixed if using X2 3.0.2 Beta dated 17th February)
We recommend using 32k buffers with an x3d for efficient streaming of 3d. If you first connect an x2 to Hanewin using 32k buffers you will see that the Client Inode is only an IP. This results in name resolving issues within a minute or so and streaming hangs.
Instead you must do the following:-
1) Make sure each x2 has it's own unique Network Host Name in it's Network Setup.
Run the desktop NFS server control app link using Administrator mode.
2) Set the "Reset Inode" box (Server tab), change the buffer size to 8k (NFS tab) and restart the server (Exports Tab).
3) Start the x2 and use NFS to test movie streaming and then stop and press Home.
4) Select the Mounts Tab and confirm you now have a Named X2 Client, not an IP.
5) Clear the "Reset Inode" box (Server tab), change the buffer size to 32k (NFS tab) and restart the server (Exports Tab).
6) Use NFS to test x2 movie streaming works at 32k without hanging.
