AFAIK there are only commercial implementations of nfs on windows. Of
course, Microsoft didn't invent (and proprietarize) it so don't expect it
to work seamless and easy on windows. 

You can make linux behave as a Lan Manager server (aka "windows
networking") if you run samba on it. This probably does exactly as you
want. It's just like as if the linux box were a NT server, only a lot
cheaper (and a lot more stable.) 

Have a look at http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba

It is also available as a binary .deb package.

Cheers,
