Answer / sandeep
NETBIOS stands foris an acronym for Network Basic
Input/Output System.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.
