No DNS is based on the hirearchal system not NetBIOS.

Resolution of names to ip addresses

when is NetBIOS routable

No, you cannot have the same netbios names because there would be a conflict between the computers and Netbios names are unique names.

Lmhosts: provides NetBIOS-name-to-IP-address resolution

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

Worth noting is the popular 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 that emulator. For MS-NET, however, Microsoft elected to name its implementation of the NBF protocol "NetBEUI" - literally naming its implementation of the transport protocol after IBM's second version of the API. Consequently, even today, Microsoft file and printer sharing over Ethernet continues to be called NetBEUI, with the name NetBIOS commonly used only in reference to file and printer sharing overTCP/IP. In truth, the former is NetBIOS over NBF, and the latter is NetBIOS over NBT.

If you have Windows ME/9x and below systems, use WINS for a NETBIOS name resolution server as DNS does not resolve up NETBIOS.

NetBIOS is an non-routing protocol(unlike RIP OSPF asf). It is unroutable (just useable on local LANs via Hubs or Switches.

NetBIOS is an acronym for Network Basic Input/Output System. Network basic input/output system allows two or more different computers to communicate over the same area network.

wins

No...it resolves to an ip address

NetBIOS Frames (NBF) protocol is non routable.

netbios is built in application in dos command mode we can use netbios in command mode. Its a default in every system that is installed with xp using netbios we can see the types of protocols used types and ip addresses of currently using servers we can also trace out ip addresses of th e servers that are connected with our servers we can also remotely work with other computers using netbios command mode some of the commands are netstat, nbtstat, tracer

WINS

Pronounced net-booey, NetBEUI is short for NetBios Extended User Interface.It is an enhanced version of the NetBIOS protocol used by network operating systems such as LAN Manager, LAN Server, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 and Windows NT.

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.

Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) provides a dynamic replicated database service that can register and resolve NetBIOS names to IP addresses used on your network. The Microsoft® Windows Server 2003 family provides WINS, which enables the server computer to act as a NetBIOS name server and register and resolve names for WINS-enabled client computers on your network as described in the NetBIOS over TCP/IP standards.

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.

Yes you can using the DWORD registry value DnsNbtLookupOrder that is lacated under the key HKLM\System|CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters If the value is 0 NetBios has higher priority than DNS if the value is 1 DNS has higher priority than NetBios.

No - WINS will translate between NetBios names.

Netbios over tcp/ip

NetBIOS

Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is Microsoft's implementation of NetBIOS Name Service (NBNS), a name server and service for NetBIOS computer names. Effectively WINS is to NetBIOS names, what DNS is to domain names — a central mapping of host names to network addresses. Like DNS it is broken into two parts, a Server Service (that manages the encoded Jet Database, server to server replication, service requests, and conflicts) and a TCP/IP Client component which manages the client's registration and renewal of names, and takes care of queries.

SMB :: (Server Message Block) :: It is a protocol used to access shared informations linked with netbios names , from windows 2000 server CIFS is used which is Common internet file system ,it bye passes netbios and uses DNS . Common SMB used is SAMBA which makes unix and Linux appear as windows computer to network clients .

Sand winning refers to the gathering and carrying away of parts of the solid earth such as sand and gravel as raw material for construction of roads and buildings. The term seems to be restricted to Ghana, in Africa. Other places may refer to it as sand mining.

It is the collection of sand. It is often done illegally and causes problems for the environment.

DNS works on the Application layer.

But I m not sure about the WINS. All I know is It is a Microsoft application used earlier as we use DNS now.

Well no...

A Windows machine's NetBIOS name is not to be confused with the computer's host name. Generally a computer running TCP/IP (whether it's a Windows machine or not) has a host name (also sometimes called a machine name or a DNS name). Generally the host name 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. Host names are used by applications such as telnet, ftp, web browsers, etc. In order to connect to a computer running the TCP/IP protocol using its HOST name, the host name must be resolved into an IP Address. Host name- or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)-IP address resolution is typically done by a Domain Name System (DNS) server.

Copied from wiki. I really couldn't have explained it any better.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetBIOS

TCP IP utility was the most useful when troubleshooting for a few reasons. It contains important information like NetBIOS over TCP IP and there connections.

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

Start->Control Panel->System->Computer Name, on the Computer name tab locate and click on Change. Type in the field Computer name the name which to want to have, press ok. You will have to restart your PC after you have changed the computer name.
