so first what i am looking for is protocol the way we look entire network in win95/win98/w2k that is uses netbui protocol if you remove this and you will see nothing so is there anybody who can contribute to this development on linux where by you can easily plug your desktop in this kind of protocol and look around full network.
It's called SaMBa, and there's a client called Linneighbourhood that acts like network neighbourhood in windows. Allows you to brows the entire windows network, as well as other samba servers. Needs a little more work though.
i know this will not help much because your file system will be different so it's of no help but still this can help us to the protocol level where all services talking to each other in windows network and you have that, then your work is much simple to push the desktop in this kind of network. We can work out at file system level at second stage.
It has nothing to do with your filesystem. Over the network, there is no filesystem. Samba takes care of everything.
