Ok I am getting confused with some network stuff.
We have
hostname = computer name /server name
assuming domain name = hostname (correct me if I am wrong)
dns = domain name server and is used to resolve ip to hostname or visa-versa.
Here is where my confusion sets in.
netbios name is this the same as the hostname or can it be different?
wins = windows internet naming server (what is the difference between this and dns why even have wins )
(netbios and wins is microsoft specific)
so I am assuming (correct me if I am wrong) host , hostname , server name , computer name are just different words for the same thing.
But where does netbios names go are they different then the above terms if so can you give an example where the netbios name is not the same as the computer name/host name?
