How does WinXP modify the name of Netbios? What is the difference between Netbios name and computer name? I believe many friends are interested in this issue. The following small series will explain it to everyone through graphic means.
How to modify the Netbios name in WinXP system
Let me talk about it first, the computer name is the host name we often say, as shown below:
The XP1 in the above picture is the computer name, and today we are talking about the netbios name. In short, the netbios name is used to mark the computer under the system win98. In the current operation In the system, it also exists, but the default is the same as the computer name, but only the first 15 digits, because the netbios name is only 16 digits, and the last one is used for a certain service or application. How to view it?
These two red boxes are the computer name and the netbios name respectively. The default is the same.
Now let's modify, please open the registry and find the following key values
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlComputerName
There are 2 sub-items under this item, ActiveComputerName and ComputerName, as shown in the figure
What is the difference between the two? First, say ComputerName, this is actually the netbios of this machine, see the translation seems to be the computer name Ha, in fact, do not be misunderstood, in the registry, the key value of the item named hostname is the real computer name, also known as the host name. We can use the hostname command at the command prompt to view the hostname of the machine. What about ActiveComputerName? According to the official statement, "This is unstable and the computer name provided during the session" seems to be very difficult to understand. In fact, it doesn't take too much trouble. This is also the netbios name. If you want to modify it, simply change the ComputerName to the desired netbios name, and then restart it. Don't worry about ActiveComputerName. After restarting, you will find that ActiveComputerName automatically synchronizes with ComputerName. It is. Try to do it.
I have changed ComputerName to xp1bios and restarted. As shown in the figure
netbios name has been changed.
We can also use nbtstat -n to verify.
Some friends may ask, what is the meaning of changing the name of netbios? Isn't it not very good? Yes, under normal circumstances, it can be used without change, but in some special circumstances, When doing some testing and experimentation, you need to use the netbios name.
Through the above detailed explanation, I believe you already know how to modify the NetBios name of WinXP, and also understand the difference between Netbios name and computer name. Friends who are interested in Netbios name can also study the role of modifying it.
