OK, I want to access the Drives on my NASLite system when I am away from home. I know there have been several discussions about mounting NFS shares in the forum but I am at a point where I am stuck so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's my situation: I have
    A Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit system with Client for NFS installed.
    A Dynamic IP for my WAN IP Address which is working properly
    NFS started on my NASLite system

Question is: what am I missing and how do I mount the Drive on my Windows system?
    Do I use Map Network Drive?
    Do I need to open a port or ports on my router (port forwarding)? If so, which one(s)?
    Is there any easy way to mount an NFS drive on a Windows 7 system?

When I try to Map a Network Drive I give the following information in the dialog box:
    \\my-server.somewhere.net\export\Disk-0
or
    \\my-server.somewhere.net\Disk-0

My router currently has port 2049 mapped and assigned to my NASLite system IP (192.168.X.XXX).
Is there anything else I need to do?
    Should I give the port number in the Map to Network Drive example (above)?
    Do I need to specify a user and password for the NASLite system (e.g., create an /etc/passwd file)?

This is not intuitive.

I don't know if this answers your question, but I very successfully use Remote Desktop, with full access to several mapped - NL - network drives, when I am abroad.
