Can FreeNAS work similar to an NFS Server for WDLXTV Live?

I’ve been running haneWIN NFS Server on my media server for a while now and using my WDLXTV Live box to connect to it. I use the net.mounts file to mount my NFS Shares.

Recently, I installed freeNAS and began playing around with it. I created a dataset named Movies-NFS, followed by a share: Movies-NFS. It was at this point I realized I didn’t know how to configure it to work like the haneWIN NFS Server did. With haneWIN NFS Server, I could just edit the export.txt file and provide the path to my existing Window’s Movies folder and it would create a NFS Share.
Example: F:\Movies\2013 -name:NFS2013
Then in my net.mounts file on my WDLXTV box, I could add the mount command.
Example: xmount "192.168.254.150:/NFS2013" "2013 Movies" nfs
I’m not sure how you do this in freeNAS.

I searched for a guide but had no luck. Is this even possible? Was I naive for even thinking that freeNAS could provide similar features/functions as the haneWIN NFS Server? If this is not possible, is there another alternative?

Thank you
Mike
