I did it like this
made a folder called C:\winnfsd
then in that folder I copied winnfsd.exe and made a batch file there:
go.bat
WinNFSd D:\Movie2
then in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
I used the new shortcut wizard pointed it to go.bat and start minimize, it works

Hi all,
Sorry to resurrect an old thread. I had been using the method here to access my local media on my Windows 10 machine through Kodi on the XBox One for a couple months now with no problems. After my install automatically upgraded to 18.0 RC5, I lost all of my file paths, and I cannot for the life of me get this to work again. I am assuming since nothing changed on my computer, the nfs server should still be fine.
In Kodi, under add network location, protocol NFS, I enter my computer's IP address into the server address: 192.168.1.XXX
The under remote path I enter the folder location: Z:\Music
I get the following error message now, "Couldn't receive directory information, this may be due to the network not being connected. Would you like to connect anyway?"
I don't think there were any tricks last time, anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you!!! Big help. My Kodi player just stopped seeing my PC's SMB shares one day and I was going crazy. I was able to resurrect 2 folders via SMB but for some strange reason, 2 other drives refused to work even if they are on the same PC.

Is there a way to get plex on this to work. Not sure of the address or path.

I am trying to set up an NFS connection for the first time, also using HaneWIN and this is the exact problem I am having.
My Bravia/Kodi hangs for a while looking for my shared folder after I put the address and folder in, then returns the message that it can't find it possibly due to network not being connected.
SMB just isn't cutting it for 4K stuff so I want to make the switch over. Do I need to disable all the SMB shares before it will allow NFS to connect to the same folders?

Somebody needs to build a simpler FOSS NFS server for Windows. WinNFSd is not very stable or user-friendly.
