Creating NetBIOS sessions

To establish a session with another host on the network: 

  1. Open the transport endpoint (with t_open) using the device name of a connection-oriented NetBIOS transport provider in the name parameter.

  2. If you are writing a client, specify the name of the server it will contact in the call to t_connect. If you are writing a server, specify the name assigned to the server in the call to t_bind.
