- # This is a sample NetBIOS NamePrefixFile. This file contains sets of
- # name/address combinations that allow the PC-NFSpro NetBIOS software to
- # attempt to locate particular PCs that are not within the local node's
- # broadcast range.
- #
- # When the NetBIOS software attempts to resolve a NetBIOS name, it will
- # first attempt to resolve the name by sending a broadcast UDP datagram
- # onto the network, and send a broadcast datagram to each of the addresses
- # located in the NetBIOS BroadcastFile.
- #
- # If that attempt fails, the software will then look through the list of
- # "Name Prefixes" that were listed in the NamePrefixFile. If it finds a
- # prefix that matches the beginning of NetBIOS name, it will send the
- # broadcast datagram to the name or address located next to the name prefix.
- #
- # As an example, if the NetBIOS software is searching for the NetBIOS name
- # "JOEPC_________12" and the NamePrefixFile contains the entry:
- #
- # JOEPC stacey # Joe's PC.
- #
- # the PC-NFSpro NetBIOS software will recognize that the 5 character prefix
- # "JOEPC" matches the first 5 letters of "JOEPC_________12", and it will
- # send the broadcast datagram to "stacey". If the NetBIOS software running
- # on "stacey" has the name "JOEPC_________12" defined, it will respond to
- # the requesting PC.
- #
- #joe stacey # Joe's PC.
- #appserver stacey # App Server is running on "stacey".
