Answer / raveesh katiyar
NetBIOS:-
The original networking protocol for DOS and Windows PCs.
NetBIOS packets did not contain a network address and were
not easily routable between networks. As a result, the
interface to NetBIOS and the transport part of NetBIOS were
later separated so that NetBIOS applications could use
routable protocols such as TCP/IP and SPX/IPX. The
programming interface (API) retained the NetBIOS name,
while the transport protocol was renamed NetBEUI
(pronounced "net-boo-ee").
Name Resolution
Today, NetBIOS is used to support legacy NetBIOS
applications but is also widely used for NetBIOS name
resolution. Since NetBIOS was the first major standard for
PC networks, computers were named according to the NetBIOS
format, which identifies a machine by a unique 15-character
name. NetBIOS machines periodically broadcast their names
over the network so that Network Neighborhood or My Network
Places can catalog them.

Answer / 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.
