OK, it was really dumb of me to forget the /some/where.  However, when I 
tried it with a proper some/where I get:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 
192.168.0.118:/mnt/Free_NAS/LINUX,
        missing codepage or helper program, or other error
        (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
        need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)


So, I installed some nfs things using Synaptic and tried it again and got:

  mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 
192.168.0.118:/mnt/Free_NAS/LINUX

When I look at Network using a file manager, I can see the Windows and 
Mac shares, but not the NFS share. I can look at the Windows share 
(which is set up to require no password) and the Mac share by supplying 
a user name and password.

I have looked at lots of articles about this but cannot see what I am 
doing wrong.
