I've been having a continueing get full use out of winxp `computer
browser' service using netbios of tcp. Its come to a point where
solving seems harder than a full reformat and reinstall.
Anyone interested in the problem can view quite a lengthy thread here
under
`Subject: Problem viewing folder and files over tcp/netbui'
(I misued terminology it should say netbios instead of netbui)
In this thread I'm asking a different question. Is there a
comparable networking solution to `My Network Places' (netbios over
tcp) that I could turn too until I get this solved?
The reinstall route may be up the road but I hesitate because of the
way MS and Adobe activation for there sw works. When ever I make
major changes, not necessaryily a reinstall I get prompted from
PhotoshopCS to activate again. It always ends up in timeconsuming
attempts to get someone on the phone and then explaining it all to
them.
I have lots of Adobe software so compound the problem by 6 or so.
Not undoable by no means but definately not something you do unless
its really necessary.
I noticed a setup called `nomachine NX' that sounded promising but its
mostly unix oriented I think. Networking is conducted of ssh/tcp.

What else is there?
Here is an example of something I'd like on windows:
Running linux with kde destop one can use kde browser called
Konqueror. Konqueror speaks smb natively.
It works with urls like:
smb://machine/share/path
Is there a comparable product for windows xp that does not rely on the
underlying netbios setup but maybe relies on tcp only.
I guess this sound pretty confused and desparate but it would be nice
to have an alternative networking solution. Maybe something very like
ftp with more priviledges or the like.
In fact, I wonder if anyone has ever tried to setup a whole OS as an
ftp site. So remote users could do whatever is normally done from
file explorer provided by windows. Or if that is simply not doable.
