On Linux server:
1. Turn of selinux/ipchains/iptables during the test. This could be turned on at a later time.
2. check for correct path to nfs shares: showmount -e
3. check permissions: ls -ld /pathTo/share
4. check exports: sudo vim /etc/exports > set these export values: /pathTo/share (insecure,rw,sync,no_subtree_check) > refresh: sudo exportfs -ra , then sudo service nfs restart

On Windows client:
1. Turn off firewall for testing
2. check for ‘Services for NFS’ features
3. Edit registry
– REGISTRY::HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Mup > dword name DisableDfs = 1
– REGISTRY::HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order > set this ordering of protocols, string ProviderOrder = Nfsnp,RDPNP,LanmanWorkstation
REGISTRY::HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ClientforNFS\CurrentVersion\Default\ >set UseReservedPorts = 1
