Title QNX4 nfs with NT
Ref. No. QNX.000003205
Category(ies) Utilities, Network
Issue We would like to use the QNX machine as a NFS client. Our NFS server will be a NT server using diskshare.

The QNX machine can ping the NT server without problems.  However we cannot see or mount the harddrive.  Why not?
Solution The problem could be with the protocol.  When a Windows drive is marked as "shared" it uses a Windows file sharing protocol that is not compatible with QNX.  NFS is also a separate protocol.  You will either have to obtain NFS server software or you can change both systems to use Samba.  Samba is native to Windows NT, and there is a free version of Samba for QNX 4 that can be downloaded from our free software section:
