Does anybody have any experience mounting nfs on win xp?
I know that it works on Win 7 (and it is a new feature).

You need to download Windows Services for UNIX Version 3.5 to support NFS mounts.
From @Sridhar-Sarnobat: The simplest way to get up and running is:
/etc/passwd
(and /etc/group) files from your NFS server to your Windows XP client and point to them in User Name Mapping -> Configuration subtab.If your password gets rejected but you've got the user mapping correct, you need to ensure that the target resource has the right permissions for that Linux user.
It is reliable enough from my experience. Though after doing a fresh install of Ubuntu I can't remember how I got it to work :( – Sridhar Sarnobat – 2015-01-03T03:38:35.747
Update: I finally got it working. Don't be discouraged if the above steps I added sound complicated. It's perfectly logical even if its a bit of clicking around to set up. – Sridhar Sarnobat – 2015-01-04T04:29:23.977
The link to Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX is broken. – Franck Dernoncourt – 2016-07-16T20:18:02.207
The above link is no longer valid. And I have been unable to NFS mount an exported directory on to the Windows machine, The client exist with a success, makes an entry into /etc/mnt, but the mount doesn't really happen.
Any pointers to what I can do? – Ziffusion – 2017-05-10T15:16:36.353
Have you any hands on experience with that? Is it reliable enough? Or I might be better off migrating to Win 7? – Ali – 2011-11-22T01:51:22.117
I've not used it, but what's included in Windows 7 is a just newer Version of Services for Unix – shf301 – 2011-11-22T02:52:41.320
