I successfully managed to mount an NSF export at a local folder as a mount point. I can type ls and see the remote content. However, I do not see any remote files in Explorer - It is blank.
What am I doing wrong?
Cygwin only mounts the NFS export inside Cygwin itself (i.e., all programs using the cygwin DLL). You need to use a native NFS client in order to see remote files from other Windows programs such as Explorer.
Apparently Windows includes such a client, but you need to enable it using "Turn Windows features on and off". See: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/nfs-client-for-windows-7/42aae25d-d077-4ff9-abdf-7314a589c46d
