HowToAccessWindowsFS : How to access Window's shares from 770 using NFS

What does this do? Allows you to access files on the Windows platform using NFS. The Nokia 770 application's will not be able to tell the difference between a network share and a memory card. So think of this as adding a massive memory card to you Nokia device, imagine the possibilities!

What you need: * Rooted Nokia 770: http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowDoiBecomeRoot * Allegro NFS Server: http://www.nfsforwindows.com/home (source also avail)

Setting up Allegro NFS in Windows: 1 . After installing Allegro NFS, opent he NFS Server for Windows Configuration Utility. 2 . In the Exports tab, click New. 3 . Use the default /export name and browse to a local directory that you want to mount. 4 . Set the Uid and Gid to 29999 for the user account (that's what Nokia logs you in as) 5 . In the white boxes to the right, highlight everything. You can add users permissions later when you have it working.

Mounting NFS in Nokia 770: 1 . Launch Xterm 2 . Create a dir to mount to: mkdir ~/MyDocs/nfs 3 . Type: sudo mount ip-address-of-win-machine/export ~/MyDocs/nfs 4 . After a little while, you can check if the mount is successful by typing df or listing the directory.

What now? You can dump whatever files you want in the NFS shared folder, mp3s, images, etc.

To stream mp3s from your windows machine: load up audio player and go to the nfs directory. Select the mp3s that you want to play. That's it.

Same applies to any other application or files.

AlexanderLash: Allegro appears to require a license after a trial period of thirty days. http://www.csparks.com/CygwinNFS/index.xml shows how to set up the NFS server using only GPL software: I would recommend nano over vi in the directions, however.
