what is meant by netbios name

Answer Posted / pankaj sain

A NetBIOS name is an identifier used by NetBIOS services
running on a computer. It is combination of a 15 character
(byte) name and a 16th character denoting the service. For
identifying resources on the NetBIOS network, these names
are used. NetBIOS can not do name resolution on the Internet
because NetBIOS names are single part names and don't have
any hierarchical structure.

The NetBIOS namespace is flat, which means that there are no
suffixes added to the NetBIOS name and that two computers
cannot have the same NetBIOS name. This means that each
NetBIOS name in any one network must be unique.
