My pxe server is a pc Windows based. To configure a NFS server should i need a Linux machine based or i can do it with my windows OS?

Updating....
I'm trying to boot via pxe+nfs the KRD 10 which is based on a Gentoo mini distro. I changed platform to my pxe server, installing on it Ubuntu 10.10 and fog server following this tutorial http://www.howtogeek...-ubuntu-livecd/
Scenario: this is my exports file:
/tftpboot/utils/kaspersky *(ro,async,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
my etc/fstab file:
/tftpboot/utils/rescue.iso /tftpboot/utils/kaspersky udf,iso9660 user,loop 0 0
my default file
label KRD 10
Kernel rescue
append loop=/image.squashfs root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs initrd=rescue.igz cdroot=1 nfsroot=192.168.1.10:/tftpboot/utils/kaspersky real_root=/dev/nfs console=tty1 splash vga=791
When my clients boot up on the screen appears the following error message
Attempting to ount NFS CD image on 192.168.1.10:/tftpboot/utils/kaspersky
The filesystem mounted at /dev/nfs does not appear to be a valid /, try again
Could not find the root block device in
Please specify another value or: ..................................
root block device() ::
At this point typing /dev/ram0 the system countinues to boot correctly loading the KRD shell interface
How can i solve the problem?

Do you have a file named livecd in the root folder and have rescue.iso in rescue folder?
