If your Solaris is Solaris 8 x86 the following doesn't apply, however if
you're running Sparc the following link might help:

l
or just

PC-Netlink is more of a server product than a client but it's free for
Solaris Sparc platforms.

If you are running Solaris x86 then you might want to look at:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/default.asp

It's $99.00 but has an NFS server for MS as well as a host of other
interoperability shtuff...

Good Luck
