If you have hummingbird NFS Maestro or some other nfs client system
for windows, you can map a remote exported nfs filesystem to a
local drive letter via the following Windbloz command line:

C:\> nfs link e: \\remote_machine.somedomain.com\/path_of_remote_fs

that assumes the remote directory is a unix nfs server.

Maybe it works also for a Windows nfs server I do not know.

Hope this helps...
