you need to mount the nfs share in Linux box.also check the default firewall rule(lokkit for iptables firewall) in redhat/fedora to allow mount the nfs share from windows.u can flush iptables for a check as "su" root privilage as "iptables -F"

Someone can help you if you specify what have you done so far.
I have never used nfs on windows but on the linux server which I've worked on, I had to specify the directory to be served by NFS in the file /etc/exports.

How did you do it? By voodoo? Else you can put it up, so others who face the problem may know.
