You can use Network Basic/Input Output (NetBIOS) to communicate over TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, or NetBEUI. Two machines can communicate if their communications method and underlying transport match. If you move one transport enabler, you see each binding assigned to a LANADAPTER. This is repeated if you have multiple physical network adapters.
Some clients communicate using NetBIOS over the NetBEUI adapter. For example, to have an OS/2 client back up to a TSM server on Windows NT, the LANADAPTER statement in the server options file must match the entry in the system control panel that has the Nbwnt->Nbf bindings.
Here is an example of a NetBIOS setting:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |commmethod netbios | | netbiosname ntserveaz1 | | lanadapter 2 | | netbiossessions 16 | | netbiosbuffersize 32 | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
