How to get Windows 10 client connected to NFS share on CentOS 7? Network Error 1204: "network provider name is invalid"

kr flag

I have a CentOS 7.9 server, IP address 192.168.1.185, with a 48TB volume mounted in /media:

[root@ds1 media]# ls -la
drwxr-xr-x.  3 root  root    29 Mar 16 08:20 .
dr-xr-xr-x. 17 root  root   278 Mar 16 08:24 ..
drwxrwxrwx   5 myname myname 4096 Mar 15 17:48 DS1_48TB_RAID_0

(myname is really my username, just masking it here)

This is exported as:

[root@ds1 media]# cat /etc/exports
/media/DS1_48TB_RAID_0 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_root_squash)

SElinux is disabled

[root@ds1 media]# sestatus
SELinux status:                 disabled

On the Windows 10 side, 'Services for NFS' were enabled, then the machine was rebooted. We can see the server with showmount from Windows.

C:\Windows\system32>showmount -e 192.168.1.185
Exports list on 192.168.1.185:
/media/DS1_48TB_RAID_0             192.168.1.0/24

However, when trying to connect to it this is what I get:

C:\Windows\system32>mount -o anon \\192.168.1.185\media\DS1_48TB_RAID_0 V:
Network Error - 1204
Type 'NET HELPMSG 1204' for more information.
    
C:\Windows\system32>NET HELPMSG 1204
The specified network provider name is invalid. 

Edited to add that I've also tried non-UNC paths but get the same error, eg:

mount -0 anon 192.168.1.185:/media/DS1_48TB_RAID_0 V:

On the Mac side (Big Sur), I am able to mount the share using:

iMac-2:~ myname$ sudo mount -o nolocks,resvport,locallocks -t nfs 192.168.1.185:/media/DS1_48TB_RAID_0 /private/nfs/

So I also tried using the nolock option on Windows, but got the same error. it seems 'resvport' and 'locallocks' are mac-specific, because the windows mount command doesn't list them as options.

What am I missing here?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
