Text of the page (random words):
ally any type of system where the tcp ip protocol suite is available and to allow netbios interoperation in the internet after the ps 2 computer hit the market in 1987 ibm released the pc lan support program which included a driver offering the netbios api the nbf protocol was officially supported by microsoft on almost every version of windows up to windows 2000 6 but its use has decreased quickly since the development of nbt microsoft officially dropped support starting with windows xp 7 but it is included on the windows xp cd rom and can be installed manually 8 windows vista does not include netbeui means nbf support at all but the windows xp netbeui support drivers can be used 9 there is some confusion between the names netbios and netbeui netbeui originated strictly as the moniker for ibm s enhanced 1985 netbios emulator for token ring the name netbeui should have died there considering that at the time the netbios implementations by other companies were known simply as netbios regardless of whether they incorporated the api extensions found in token ring s emulator for ms net however microsoft elected to name its implementation of the nbf protocol netbeui naming its implementation of the transport protocol after ibm s enhanced version of the api citation needed consequently microsoft file and printer sharing over ethernet often continues to be called netbeui with the name netbios commonly used only in reference to file and printer sharing over tcp ip more accurately the former is netbios frames nbf and the latter is netbios over tcp ip nbt because the nbf protocol is unroutable it can only be used to communicate with devices in the same broadcast domain but being bridgeable it can also be used to communicate with network segments connected to each other via bridges the lack of support for routable networks means that nbf is only well suited for small to medium sized networks where it has an advantage over tcp ip in that it requires little configuration the netbios netbeui services must be implemented atop other protocols such as ipx and tcp ip see above in order to be of use in an internetwork 10 since its original publication in a technical reference book from ibm the netbios api specification has become a de facto standard in the industry despite originally supporting a maximum of only 80 pcs in a lan this limitation was generally overcome industry wide through the transition from nbf to nbt under which for example microsoft was able to switch to domain name system dns for resolution of netbios hostnames having formerly used the lan segment compartmentalized nbf protocol itself to resolve such names in windows client server networks 1 services edit netbios provides three distinct services name service netbios ns for name registration and resolution datagram distribution service netbios dgm for connectionless communication session service netbios ssn for connection oriented communication note smb an upper layer is a service that runs on top of the session service and the datagram service and is not to be confused as a necessary and integral part of netbios itself it can now run atop tcp with a small adaptation layer that adds a length field to each smb message this is necessary because tcp only provides a byte stream service with no notion of message boundaries name service edit in order to start sessions or distribute datagrams an application must register its netbios name using the name service netbios names are 16 octets in length and vary based on the particular implementation frequently the 16th octet called the netbios suffix designates the type of resource and can be used to tell other applications what type of services the system offers citation needed in nbt the name service operates on udp port 137 tcp port 137 can also be used but rarely is the name service primitives offered by netbios are add name registers a netbios name add group name registers a netbios group name delete name unregisters a netbios name or group name find name looks up a netbios name on the network internet protocol version 6 ipv6 is not supported by the netbios name resolution protocol 11 datagram distribution service edit datagram mode is connectionless the application is responsible for error detection and recovery in nbt the datagram service runs on udp port 138 the datagram service primitives offered by netbios are send datagram send a datagram to a remote netbios name send broadcast datagram send a datagram to all netbios names on the network receive datagram wait for a packet to arrive from a send datagram operation receive broadcast datagram wait for a packet to arrive from a send broadcast datagram operation session service edit session mode lets two computers establish a connection allows messages to span multiple packets and provides error detection and recovery in nbt the session service runs on tcp port 139 the session service primitives offered by netbios are call opens a session to a remote netbios name listen listen for attempts to open a session to a netbios name hang up close a session send sends a packet to the computer on the other end of a session send no ack like send but doesn t require an acknowledgment receive wait for a packet to arrive from a send on the other end of a session in the original protocol used to implement netbios services on pc network to establish a session the initiating computer sends an open request which is answered by an open acknowledgment the computer that started the session will then send a session request packet which will prompt either a session accept or session reject packet during an established session each transmitted packet is answered by either a positive acknowledgment ack or a negative acknowledgment nak response a nak will prompt retransmission of the data sessions are closed by the non initiating computer by sending a close request the computer that started the session will reply with a close response which prompts the final session closed packet netbios name vs internet hostname edit when netbios is run in conjunction with internet protocols e g nbt each computer may have multiple names one or more netbios name service names and one or more internet hostnames netbios name edit a netbios name is 16 ascii characters however microsoft limits the hostname to 15 characters and reserves the 16th character as a netbios suffix 12 this suffix describes the service or name record type such as host record master browser record or domain controller record or other services the hostname or short hostname for a host is specified when windows networking is installed or configured on the host the suffixes registered are determined by the individual services supplied by the host in order to connect to a computer running tcp ip via its netbios name the name must be resolved to a network address today this is usually an ip address the netbios name to ip address resolution is often done by either broadcasts or a wins server netbios name server a computer s netbios name is often the same as that computer s hostname see below although truncated to 15 characters but it may also be completely different netbios names are a sequence of alphanumeric characters the following characters are explicitly not permitted since windows 2000 netbios names also had to comply with restrictions on dns names they cannot consist entirely of digits and the hyphen or full stop characters may not appear as the first or last character since windows 2000 microsoft has advised against including any full stop characters in netbios names such that applications can use the presence of a full stop to distinguish domain names from netbios names 12 the windows lmhosts file provides a netbios name resolution method that can be used for small networks that do not use a wins server internet hostname edit a windows machine s netbios name is not to be confused with the computer s internet hostname assuming that the computer is also an internet host in addition to being a netbios node which need not necessarily be the case generally a computer running internet protocols whether it is a windows machine or not usually has a hostname also sometimes called a machine name originally these names were stored in and provided by a hosts file but today most such names are part of the hierarchical domain name system dns generally the hostname of a windows computer is based on the netbios name plus the primary dns suffix which are both set in the system properties dialog box there may also be connection specific suffixes which can be viewed or changed on the dns tab in control panel network tcp ip advanced properties hostnames are used by applications such as telnet ftp web browsers etc to connect to a computer running the tcp ip protocol using its name the hostname must be resolved into an ip address typically by a dns server it is also possible to operate many tcp ip based applications including the three listed above using only ip addresses but this is not the norm node types edit under windows the node type of a networked computer relates to the way it resolves netbios names to ip addresses this assumes that there are any ip addresses for the netbios nodes which is assured only when netbios operates over nbt thus node types are not a property of netbios per se but of interaction between netbios and tcp ip in the windows os environment there are four node types b node 0x01 broadcast p node 0x02 peer wins only m node 0x04 mixed broadcast then wins h node 0x08 hybrid wins then broadcast the node type in use is displayed by opening a command line and typing ipconfig all a windows computer registry may also be configured in such a way as to display unknown for the node type netbios suffixes edit the netbios suffix alternately called the netbios end character endchar is the 16th character of a netbios name and indicates service type for the registered name the number of record types is limited to 255 some commonly used values are for unique names 00 workstation service workstation name 03 windows messenger service 06 remote access service 20 file service also called host record 21 remote access service client 1b domain master browser primary domain controller for a domain 1d master browser for group names 00 workstation service workgroup domain name 1c domain controllers for a domain group record with up to 25 ip addresses 1e browser service elections protocol stack edit the following table
