This is a stub. It is still used... (I think).. in what context?
How does it relate to NBTSTAT?
You know, I'm not the biggest microsoft fan out there, but I think this article contains a little bit of loaded language that's biased against Microsoft. I edited some of it out, but part of it might also be biased if someone else wants to review it.

I was looking for information regarding netbios attacks and vulnerabilities. There is no such referance in this article. Viruswitch 09:06, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
I too was looking for vulnerabilities, in addition to the port numbers and protocols (tcp or udp) that it uses. Daedalus01 20:16, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
NetBIOS is orginally a hardware solution (hence its name). Can someone write more about it?-- 202.77.13.1 01:56, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
NetBEUI redirects to this article but isn't explained here. Wouldn't it make more sense to redirect it instead to the NetBIOS Frames protocol page where NetBEUI and the ambiguity surrounding it are explained. 83.104.249.240 ( talk) 06:09, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
We can discuss, should "NetBEUI" and "NetBIOS Enhanced User Interface" redirect here or to some dab page. But while these titles redirect here, the {{ redirect2}} hatnote is necessary because of ambiguity noticed above. Contrary to LittleWink's opinion, this has nothing to do with "related articles", this is primarily a mean to disambiguate these redirects. A user coming to these two titles may see highly visible indication that such "term" is semantically compromised. LittleWink ( talk · contribs) argued that the hatnote should be avoided because "NetBEUI" is mentioned many times in article. It is exactly the reason, why redirecting an ambiguous title to an article can, in such rare cases as this one, be preferred over making a dab page. Technically these are redirects to an article, but virtually these are ambiguous redirects. Incnis Mrsi ( talk) 19:20, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Next, imagine that we only removed the hatnote, but redirects remained in place. Let a reader go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetBEUI link. Then, s/he will see something like:

NetBIOS is an acronym for Network Basic Input/Output System. It provides services related to the session layer of the OSI model allowing applications on separate computers to communicate over a local area network. As strictly an API, NetBIOS is not a networking protocol. Older operating systems ran NetBIOS over IEEE 802.2 and IPX/SPX using the NetBIOS Frames (NBF) and NetBIOS over IPX/SPX (NBX) protocols, respectively.
…
Since NetBIOS has really nothing of value to offer vs using pure TCP/IP, can it be simply disabled on the newest Microsoft servers? DMahalko ( talk) 00:54, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

This statement does not appear to be correct: "A Windows machine's NetBIOS name is not to be confused with the computer's host name," considering the Microsoft-released .NET class IPGlobalProperties's .HostName field's description on MSDN: "This property calls into the native IP Helper function, GetNetworkParams, which returns a FIXED_INFO structure that contains the NetBIOS host name string."
Consider also that imperative statements are inappropriate for an encyclopaedia. 199.204.56.17 ( talk) 01:33, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
In the early days of Windows networks, LMHOSTS files were used for NetBIOS name resolution. Later, these names were often resolved to IP addresses using a NetBIOS Name Server (NBNS). Microsoft’s version of the NBNS was called Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS). With Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003, hostnames are used instead of NetBIOS names. In a Windows Server 2003 domain, DNS is used to resolve hostnames and locate resources such as network services.https://ptgmedia.pearsoncmg.com/images/9780789736185/samplechapter/0789736187_CH03.pdf
Just to muddy the waters, Microsoft allows IP host names to be used as a substitute for NetBIOS names.https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-netbios-name-resolution-really-works/ PaulT2022 ( talk) 22:36, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
The premise of this article is to explain the meaning and use of NetBIOS to a person of average intellect. The article fails to achieve this and gets quickly buried in layers of jargon and assumed knowledge. Perhaps those involved in the development and authoring of this page should consider starting again from scratch with the reader in mind. Do not assume that everyone or even the majority of people who read this article have the same understanding as the authors and other commentators. As an observer, it is comical to read the arguments in this talk section making strongly felt but trivial and semantic points that really only add to the obfuscation and confusion. Big picture, people, big picture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.195.145 ( talk) 00:36, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
