i am in a situation where I can not depend on nslookup/dns, so is there a way to figure that the host on 10.10.2.2 is windows, linux, solaris??????
 
There is no standard way to do that. You can use only some guessing functions. Some OS-es sends messages through to all near computers, for example windows, but it deppends on configuration. Many details you may find in google.
