Mounting a NFS shared dir

I have a win2k box acting as my NFS Server. Connected to the serial port
is an Embedded Planet “Red Box” running Neutrio. I am trying to mount an
NFS shared dir from my pc to the red box using the “fs-nfs2” command.
Below is a dump of my /proc/ipstats before execution of “fs-nfs2 …” to
give you an idea of the interfaces, routes and connections.

cat /proc/ipstats

DST: 0.0.0.0 NETMASK: 0.0.0.0 GATEWAY: 192.168.8.1

The actual command I run is

$ fs-nfs2 127.0.01:/Workspace /Workspace

where the NFS shared dir is called /Workspace on it.
Problem: This command executes fine, but my understanding of the fs-nfs2
command is that it should create a mount on Neutrio filesystem called
/Workspace. This is not happening.

Any suggests will be muchly appreciated. Newbie needing help - Peter.

(root?)

The following should be done:

  1. tcpip connection establishment:
    As your win2k and Neutrino are linked through serial port,
    a ppp link should be made.
    HowToSeeIfItWork:
    use ping to see if connection is connected.
    e.g. if ip of win32 is, 1.1.1.1, and ip of neutrino is 2.2.2.2
    then on neutrino type: ping 1.1.1.1 and on win2k type: ping 2.2.2.2

  2. mount nfs:
    I suppose you have NFS server anyway, (I do not think nfs server
    is in win2k package). Suppose you have an export point called /WorkSpace
    on win2k, you should run on neutrino fs-nfs2 as root, type in:
    fs-nfs2 1.1.1.1:/WorkSpace /WorkSpace
    (say, the ip of your win2k is 1.1.1.1.)
