NetBIOS

[iataman]

Hello World,

How can I use NetBEUI protocol to send and receive data through an intranet?

Is there a control or sth like that, like WinSock control?


Thanks in advance.

This is a bit of a strange question since if you are using an intranet, you are locally based. Why not just send and receive data on the LAN itself?

There are very few applications that would need to control network transmission protocols without delegating those tasks to the OS. An intranet would delegate transmission to the Server (IIS or whatever, which in turn would delegate to the OS, which would use NetBEUI directly)

More details?

Paul.

Thanks but how can i send and receive data through LAN.

Well I'm on the project of doing a pcAnywhere like program, that is, a program which
a host is controlled from a client. I have a TCP version but I need to use NetBEUI or sth. else I can.

I see. Did you write the TCP version yourself? Unfortunately, although I know how these protocols work in theory, I never use them practically.

Where TCP might use an IP address to talk to the target, NetBEUI will use a computer name. At the most basic level, this will be resolved into a hardware address for the LAN card.

Have you got the original code? It would be very interesting.

Sorry I can't really help you on this.

Cheers,

P.
