Chapter 5<P> Configuring and using NetBIOS
Configuring and using NetBIOS
The NetBIOS interface allows applications (such as LAN Manager) to send messages over
different transports.
The NetBIOS that is provided with SCO products is mainly for use with
TCP/IP, so configuration queries are designed to reflect this.
Internal tables keep track of NetBIOS sessions. You can configure the
maximum and default number of sessions available.
Configure NetBIOS with
the Network Configuration Manager as described in
``Configuring protocols'' in Configuring Network Connections.
When you do, you configure:
The local host name, IP address, and broadcast address
used by NetBIOS.
The NetBIOS scope identifier, described later in this chapter.
A number of per-user variables, such as the number
of default sessions, maximum names, and maximum commands.
