Netbios over tcp/ip
Forward lookup zones
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
All numbers between 1.0.0.0 to 254.255.255.255 are the ranges of all Internet address.Except for for a few numbers reserved for local networks and General Broadcasts.Names such as 'www.Website.com' as matched with one of these numbers, a separate name per number.Note that 'www.website.com' is NOT the same name as 'website.com'.

Strictly speaking, Windows clients will use a DNS server to resolve host names to IP addresses. In a Windows environment, the DNS server is almost always a Domain Controller as well (Active Directory Integrated DNS). Windows also has another naming system called NETBIOS. Clients will use a WINS server to resolve NETBIOS names (do not confuse with host names) to IP addresses. Short answer: DNS
Without the DNS server you would have to know the IP address of every computer you are communicating with. DNS exists to resolve the names of computers to IP addresses. It also aids in locating services on a network.
Every router has a list of connected computers. Usually the list contains MAC addresses, but some newer routers can even resolve computer names (unless specific ports are blocked by firewall).+1Answers.comAnswers.com.forward characterYou will have to match all MAC addresses from your computer against the list and see if you have intruders.
