You have made the post in wrong forum.. It should be in General Networking support section. OK

Now about your query..

Firstly..
If you want to browse the windoz network then simply Install Linneighborhood . It is a gui used for SAMBA .
Samba is a network tool used to connect linux machine to windows machine because it uses windows networking scheme. All you have to do google for its download..

BTW.. it will better if you read some samba docs first to understand that what is samba..
Do it answered you question ?
