I have put correct values here now.

These ports are open. I don't understand why NFS transfers work with U-Boot but not with the kernel.

File Monitor told me nfsd was failing to open the C:/ directory (my cygwin is in C:/local), so it looks like it was a permission problem, but everything was allowed for members of my Administrators group, like my nfs user who is running the NFS services. So it is strange it didn't report me an "acces denied" error.

Now it goes a bit further, it can mount the root filesystem at last, and I get other errors about device files, but this is another problem. ;)

Thanks a lot!

Nicolas
