3.3.1 NetBIOS Name Resolution

Although Microsoft has phased out NetBIOS name resolution, it remains in Windows Server 2003 for

compatibility purposes. Two of the mechanisms implemented for NetBIOS name resolution are Windows

Internet Naming Service (WINS), which is a NetBIOS name server that stores NetBIOS names and their

IP Addresses; and the LMHOSTS file, which is a static text file that contains a list of NetBIOS names and

their corresponding IP addresses and is stored on the local computer.
