Mount NFS from Windows 7

Hi,

I cannot mount an NFS share on a Windows 7 machine? I really tried searching for a solution but it seems that I am missing something at this point.

I do not have any problems mounting this share on other FreeBSD servers but Windows returns "NET HELPMSG 53" error every time I try to mount the NFS share.

FreeBSD version: 9.2

Thank you in advance...

That looks like a SMB error message.
 
Well, I do not use samba. This is just an NFS share. Do I have to use samba to allow sharing for a Windows machine?
I might me asking a silly question, but I am really inexperienced on file sharing situations.

As far as I know there's only an NFS client with Windows 7 Enterprise. It's not available in Windows 7 Professional or Home.

How exactly are you trying to mount the NFS share?
 
On Windows 7 administrator command prompt I type:
Code: 
mount 10.31.31.31:/Store/Share h:
and get:
Code: 
Type `NET HELPMSG 53` for more information.
additionally, when I type:
Code: 
C:\Windows\system32>showmount -e 10.31.31.31
Exports list on 10.31.31.31:
/Store/Share                       10.86.86.14, 10.86.86.16, 10.86.86.18,
                                   10.86.86.20, 10.86.86.22, 10.31.31.33,
                                   10.86.86.30
and 10.31.31.33 is the IP of Windows 7 machine.

FreeBSD server has PF runnig and I disabled that before I tried these commands...
