sharing a IRIX filesystem on windows pc

I'm sure that there has to be a way to do this, but I can't get it quite right.

I want to share the directory /usr/scratch on my SGI with a windows machine, so I can use its DVD drive to back up some data.

in /etc/exports i added a line,
/usr/scratch -ro

and then ran exportfs -a

But the problem is, the windows machine can't detect my SGI machine on the network.

I try to map the network drive as

\\unixname\usr\scratch
\\unixname.rice.edu\usr\scratch
\\unixname/usr/scratch
\\unixname.rice.edu/usr/scratch

all of which say network parth not found, even though I think I can hear the SGI drive churning (i may be imagining it though).

anyone know the commands I have to run?
 
/etc/exports is just for NFS, you would need to install SFU or something like it on the Windows box. You probably want to install Samba on the IRIX machine.
