If it says that it is the limit, I think that it is a strict limit

I'm pretty sure you can't.

NetBios has a 15character limit. A windows (and probably linux) domain can exceed that limit, but your computer will either not function with NetBios or its name will be truncated to 15characters.

I'm looking to try to get a users MAC and/or NetBIOS name when they visit my website. It somehow can be done, I'm not sure with PHP, but it can be done. Does anyone have any idea how? As an example check out: http://stealthtests.lockdowncorp.com/ On that site, there are tests that will display NetBIOS & MAC addresses.

Using ASP.NET (or classic ASP) is there a way to capture the NETBIOS name of the server that a page was run on? Currently we have email based error reports which get sent to us from our web sites. We have hundreds of websites on half a dozen servers. Sometimes the same website is load balanced across multiple servers so figuring out the "origin" of an error can be a challenging.

Hi! I'm trying to write a program that can tell if a remote computer is running Windows or not. The thing is, it have to go very fast, so I don't want to "connect" to the computer. My plan is to send a netbios request and if I get a response I know it's probably a Windows machine. The problem is that I can't use the Netbios function in NETAPI32.DLL,

Hi, I am using TcpClient to connect to a device which does not talk NetBios. The TcpClient tries first to do something with Netbios. This probably failes on a timeout and then TcpClient sets up the TCP connection. Due to this it takes about 5 secons to set up a TCP connection on a LAN. Is it possible to disable the NetBios request ? I have rewritten the program with sockets but also sockets try to

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
