What else can I help you with?
What networking service is used to automatically associate NetBIOS names with IP addresses?
WINS
What converts NetBIOS names to IP addresses?
Lmhosts: provides NetBIOS-name-to-IP-address resolution
Does wins resolve mac addresses to the netbios names?
No...it resolves to an ip address
What type of file resolves NetBIOS names to IP addresses?
you see the file name is WINS. which stands for window internet name service see the resolution happens like this (p.s WINS, is not a file name it is a protocol) NetBIOS, broadcasts names to listening nodes on the network. NetBIOS utilizes a User Datagram Protocol UDP, query to broadcast names. NetBIOS names identified computer on the network before the introduction of Windows 2000. The NetBIOS name is resolved to an IP address through windows Internet Name Service WINS,broadcasting, or the LMHOSTS file. If the LAN is a NetBIOS LAN, the NetBIOS name is then the network address. The NetBIOS name is assigned by an administrator when the operating system is installed. To enable communication, the following requirements exist. i hope i have helped
When is NetBIOS routable?
when is NetBIOS routable
Should NetBIOS applications should be replaced as they are out-of-date?
Yes, NetBIOS applications should be replaced as they are considered outdated and limited in functionality. Modern networking protocols, such as DNS and TCP/IP, offer enhanced security, scalability, and performance. Additionally, reliance on NetBIOS can expose systems to vulnerabilities due to its lack of encryption and support for contemporary authentication methods. Transitioning to updated technologies ensures better compatibility and improved overall network efficiency.
Can 2 computers have the same netbios name?
No, you cannot have the same netbios names because there would be a conflict between the computers and Netbios names are unique names.
What is netbios and if you disable it on your computer may you still access the internet?
As far as I know, NetBIOS was a own protocol once. Nowadays, Microsoft uses some components of it for networking via TCP/IP. When you access the properties of your network connection and choose "advanced", there is an option for deactivating NetBIOS. When you have Windows XP: Choose properties of you LAN connection properties of TCP/IP "advanced" (right part on the end of the properties window) click the third title "WINS" Here you might be able to deactivate NetBIOS, but I would not recommend it, because it is used for communicating with older systems and non-Windows enviroments.
NetBIOS names are based on a hierarchical system of domains?
No DNS is based on the hirearchal system not NetBIOS.
The defference between domainname and netBIOS name?
A domain name is a human-readable address used in the Domain Name System (DNS) to identify resources on the internet, typically structured with a hierarchical format (e.g., www.example.com). In contrast, a NetBIOS name is a unique identifier used in local area networks (LANs) for Windows-based systems, allowing devices to communicate over a network without needing an IP address. While domain names function primarily on the internet, NetBIOS names operate within local network environments. Additionally, domain names can be longer and more structured, whereas NetBIOS names are limited to 15 characters.
What function does the LMHOST file provide?
It allows you to connect to a computer using its NetBIOS name rather than an IP address. It is similar in function to the IP Hosts file. This technology is effectively deprecated (NetBIOS is an old technology) but allows the LMHost file to resolve NETBIOS names to IP address for environments with older applications. It is the last 'name resolution' mechanism to be used before name resolution fails. Physically, it is a text file that is stored in Windows\System32\drivers\etc. A sample LM Host file with explanation can be found there (LMHost.sam). It cannot be used with IPv6 and Windows uses DNS in preference to NetBIOS names since at least Windows 2000.
What command clears the NetBIOS name cache table?
The command to clear the NetBIOS name cache table is nbtstat -R. This command releases and refreshes the NetBIOS name cache, effectively clearing it. You can run this command in the Command Prompt on a Windows system. Additionally, you can use nbtstat -S to view the current NetBIOS name cache entries.
