netbios name is usually also john (but has stricter naming restrictions) on a domain your full computer name may be john.company.local for example. the company.local bit being the name of the domain itself. netbios is old way of resolving names and in many ways is not used, however is kept there in the OS for backwards compatibility.

NetBIOS over TCP/IP is specified by RFC 1001 and RFC 1002. The Netbt.sys driver is a kernel -mode component that supports the TDI interface. Services such as workstation and server use the TDI interface directly, while traditional NetBIOS applications have their calls mapped to TDI calls through the Netbios.sys driver. Using TDI to make calls ...

2020年1月30日 · NetBIOS is needed to join a domain and there are quite a few legacy apps that were designed around it and therefor need NetBIOS to function properly. Here is a short list taken directly from the above blog post link.

3. What is the relationship between SMB and NetBIOS; are they seperate, does one rely upon the other? SMB does rely on NetBIOS for communication with devices that do not support direct hosting of SMB over TCP/IP. NetBIOS is completely independent from SMB. It is an API that SMB, and other technologies can use, so NetBIOS has no dependency to SMB.

Any decent firewall should have rules to implicitly deny NetBIOS towards the internet. Not doing that can result in situations like the well known Wannacry attack. Regarding the DNS servers, one of them may have additional roles installed (like client update services) that may use NetBIOS, but it should do that only within your network.

2018年9月20日 · I hear there's also an implementation from the OpenWrt community that simply calls itself "mDNS". Since Apple created this, Apple products focus on this, although Macs can also use NetBIOS Name Service and WINS for name resolution, especially when using macOS's SMB client to connect to SMB file servers (Windows Server, Linux SaMBa servers).

You need to clear both the DNS and NetBIOS name caches. According to the Microsoft support article Microsoft TCP/IP Host Name Resolution Order both are used in Windows to cache hostnames. Do this from an elevated Command Prompt by running these two commands: ipconfig /flushdns nbtstat -R (The -R is case-sensitive)
