A NetBIOS name, short for Network Basic Input/Output System, is a unique identifier assigned to a computer on a network that uses NetBIOS, a networking protocol. NetBIOS names are typically used in small, peer-to-peer networks and are not routable across the Internet.
There are a few different ways to check the NetBIOS name of a computer. One way is to use the “nbtstat -a” command in a command prompt. This command will display a list of all the NetBIOS names on the network, as well as their IP addresses. Another way to check the NetBIOS name of a computer is to use the “hostname” command. This command will display the NetBIOS name of the local computer.
