I have heard of Services for Unix but have never used them. I use Samba
in my mixed os network and it works perfectly. I don't think you can
use NFS for Windows because it isn't a Windows protocol. I don't know
why you can't do your networking over TCP/IP. I wish I could remember
exactly all the ins and outs of the long thread in the networking
group, but I think I probably ended with the same suggestion I'm going
to make to you now: get a knowledgeable friend (and he should really be
knowledgeable, not just *say* he is) OR a professional to come and look
at your setup. You've been struggling with this for a long time and it
is probably something that someone on-site is going to be able to solve
far better than in a newsgroup. Please understand I'm not saying this
to be hurtful to you in any way - I'm just being practical.

Best of luck to you,

Malke
