Is this on a windows machine? NFS isn't natively supported on windows, you'll need to install something.

Use SMB instead.

Yes a windows Vista, do I need to install something for SMB, or just use SMB as option on my PCH?

Smb works fine on any windows machine natively.

Got a lot further, thanks to all tips and hints.
Status now: with firewall, no access,
firewall off it works.
any hints on which ports to open, or something else to do?
