Maybe you could supply some more detail about exactly what kind of NFS you have and what exactly is not happening.

For instance: I have a NAS comprised of a Linksys WRT-350N and a WD-500GB My Book storage drive. Since starting to use vista I am not able to access the NAS unless I MAP the drive. I am no longer able to stream my media files from the NAS to the Vista machine. It happens that devices like mine use SaMBa to create shares and the Vista UAC conflicts with the SAMBA version on the WRT-350. It also happens that Vista will not index drives found on the network and will require you to download a FAT plugin for desktop search.

See what I'm saying?

What happens if you MAP the share?
