And you wonder where I get all my ranting material. :-)

To my knowledge, there are no free NFS clients for Win32-based systems.

You would most likely have better luck getting the SAMBA network working 
right.  Do you have any NT Workstation systems on your network?  How 
about NT Server?  Do you subnet?  If so, how, and have the browsing 
problems seemed to follow subnet boundaries?  Do you use any other 
protocols besides TCP/IP on your LAN?

Also, if you have any NetWare connectivity, there is a server (shipped 
with Red Hat) which makes your Linux box look like a NetWare 3.x server.  
It's called mars_nwe.  It's IPX-only, but it might do better for you if 
you already have Novell servers on your network.
