NetBIOS

 

NetBIOS 

NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System) is a program that allows applications on different computers to communicate within a local area network (LAN). It was created by IBM for its early PC Network, was adopted by Microsoft, and has since become a de facto industry standard.

 

NetBEUI is an enhanced version of the NetBios protocol that is used by Microsoft Windows networking. It is a non-routable protocol, which means that computers that are not located on the same network segment or subnet can't communicate

 

NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NBT, or sometimes NetBT) is a networking protocol that allows legacy computer applications relying on the NetBIOS API to be used on modern TCP/IPnetworks. It is a routable protocol, which means that computers that are located on the different network segment or subnet can communicate.

NetBT uses the following TCP and UDP ports:

 

·         UDP port 137 and TCP port 137 (name services)

·         UDP port 138  - connectionless (datagram services)

·         TCP port 139 - connection oriented (session services)
