Windows NFS mounting over Internet

Brief description of the problem

I can’t find a way to mount my NFS share, in my Windows 10 client, using the Rockstor NAS public IP, which has correctly exposed over the internet. I can succesfully mount it in an Ubuntu VM (hosted by the same windows machine that can’t mount) and I can succesfully mount it using its local area network IP (when the machine is in the same LAN). I get a “Network Error - 53”, which seems to be a “network path was not found” error. So Maybe the problem is how I pass the NFS path to the “mount” command, but after many different ways, I still can’t find the right path pattern.

Detailed step by step instructions to reproduce the problem

1. Installed NFS services client on Windows client;
2. Created the NFS share via Rockstor web gui;
3. Activated the NFS service via Rockstor web gui;
4. Forwarded ports 111 and 2049 on my router on my Rockstor NAS machine;
5. Succesfully test connectivity from the Windows client OUTSIDE the LAN (over internet), pinging the
   Rockstor NAS public IP and doing a Telnet on the same public IP on the 2 different forwarded ports;
6. Succesfully mounted the NFS share while INSIDE the LAN, using the following command: " mount
   [local_ip]:/export/[share_name] Z: ";
7. Launching the following command to mount the NFS share through the public ip: " mount
   [public_ip]:/export/[share_name] Y: "; LEADS TO Network Error -53
8. Tried different ways to pass the path, with slashes, double slashes, backslashes, etc, but with no
   success;
9. Fired up a VM, hosted by the same Windows machine, tried to mount the NFS share through public
   IP and it works flawlessy;

nothing much to post, just the windows command prompt which returns the Network Error -53
