The available services are:
•CIFS (Common Internet File Service). Sometimes referred to as SMB. This protocol is used mainly by Microsoft Windows clients, and sometimes by Mac OS X clients. Under Windows, when you click on My Network Places Network Neighborhood, you are going across CIFS.
This service is enabled by default and cannot be disabled.
•NFS (Network File Service). NFS is used by Linux and Unix clients. Mac OS 9/X users can access NFS shares as well through console shell access. The ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition supports NFS v3 over UDP and TCP.
