Thanks Bo,

I may be messing with something I am totally unfamiliar with here...

The D210 comes with a folder named share, I was not aware of it being a 
Samba share, so i created a new folder named D210.

The D210 uses XFS as the file system, is that a problem with NFS?

I placed the following line in my /etc/fstab:

192.168.1.23:/D210 /big_archive nfs tcp,noexec,intr     0 0

when I issue the mount command the return message is "mount.nfs 
Connection refused"

What am I missing here?

Regards,

Jay
