nfs

I recently reinstalled my file server (moved from fedora to Ubuntu server).

Now I cannot mount my nfs share from Windows 7, mounting from Mac OSX works fine.

In Windows I either keep getting "the semaphore timeout period has expired" or "an unexpected error has occured".

Does Ubuntu need some special magic to allow Windows 7 to mount an nfs share?

This is my exports file

/home/Bing/     192.168.1.*(rw,async,insecure,no_subtree_check)
/home/Bing/mnt/EXTRN2 192.168.1.*(rw,async,insecure,no_subtree_check)
/home/Bing/mnt/EXTRN3 192.168.1.*(rw,async,insecure,no_subtree_check)
