Hrmm, I know the Linux end supports tunneling protocols; but it's been so
long since I used Windows that I'm not certain it can yet. I seem to
remember something about a 'Microsoft Virtual Network Adapter' that did

You can try enabling NFS version 3 in your kernel configuration to see if
that fixes the windows NFS clients.
