My 1.5 year old MacbookPro was starting to behave badly including failure to complete booting and other niceties. The computer support guy suggested to upgrade from Mountain Lion to Maverick to see whether it would fix things.
sudo mount -t nfs -o rw server:/var/www /webserver
or
mount server:/var/www /webserver
The mount can be put into /etc/fstab, e.g.:
server:/var/www /webserver nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,user
The command to figure out what shares are available e.g. on the computer 192.168.0.2 type:
For nfs: /usr/sbin/showmount -e 192.168.0.2
For samba: smbclient -L 192.168.0.2
