Edit the .maphosts file

Next, you need to add entries to the .maphosts file, which is installed with
User Name Mapping. This file controls which computers on the network can
access User Name Mapping, so you need to add an entry for each computer
you are using in this test that is running either Server for NFS or Client for
NFS.
You can edit the .maphosts file in a text editor. The .maphosts file is
located in %windir%\msnfs on the computer running User Name Mapping.
The .maphosts file contains a list of one or more of the elements described
in the following table, each on a separate line. The order of the elements is
important because, when matching a computer making a request against the
list, User Name Mapping searches from the top down until it finds a match.

Examples
A .maphosts file with the following contents allows access only by
computers named R2_host, UNIX_host, Windows_DC, and NIS_host:
R2_host
UNIX_host
Windows_DC
NIS_host
