The strategy is spot on.
But I think that ground is covered, samba does it for us.
How is this different from Samba kicking butt in the SMB / NMB area.
With Samba integration into a tcp/ip Windows network is painless. (Aren't most Windows networks tcp/ip based anyways?)

Hi
my subject make's it more clear what my intension is. and that is if you want to push linux as major desktop os then you have to play the game the way your competitor play.
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.
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.
So is there anyone who can contribute to protocol level development or some one interested in such idiot work I know this sounds like crazy idea but some how I faced this problem and I want to overcome this.
So anybody there ..?
