NetBIOS Names Although Windows XP Professional does not require NetBIOS names,
Windows NT 4.0 and other earlier operating systems require NetBIOS names

 In Windows XP Professional, you cannot configure a NetBIOS name as a
separate task. The NetBIOS name is created by using the first 15 letters of
the host name. The sixteenth and final character of the NetBIOS name is

directory service or messenger service. If the host name is changed after
installation, the NetBIOS names also change.
