CAUTION If you dial in to the server using a variable IP address for the NT client,
and the server lists the client’s host name explicitly in /etc/exports,
the lookup will fail because the IP address will not match. You need to
export the directory without restrictions (no host names in
/etc/exports).
If you modified /etc/exports, force the system to re-read it:
/usr/sbin/exportfs -a
Now do the following on the NT Client.
Step 1. Choose “Control Panel--DiskAccess--Authentication”.
a. Enter a user name and password valid on the HP-UX server.
b. Check the box for “PCNFSD Server” and enter the host name of the
HP-UX server.
c. Click on “Filenames” in the “DiskAccess Control Panel” and select
“Preserve Case”.
Step 2. Choose “Start--Programs--NT Explorer--Tools--Map Network Drive”
a. Enter the NT drive name or accept the default.
b. Enter the HP-UX server’s hostname :/ pathname , (or enter hostname
only to see a list of the file systems the server exports).
c. Click on OK.
