NETBIOS.SYS

Loads support for the NETBIOS protocol. DEVICE=NETBIOS.SYS


 * TIP: If you do not use NETBIOS applications, you can remove the NETBIOS driver from the CONFIG.SYS and the NETBIOS section from the PROTOCOL.INI to remove some of the confusion this creates. You should also remove the virtual NetBIOS drivers at the same time since these bind onto the NETBIOS driver and not the LM10 interface (which is why they appear after the NETWKSTA.SYS driver, so it can "eat" its resources first, then what is left over is assigned to NETBIOS.SYS). [<- Note: this should be NETBIOS.OS2]

(The mentioned virtual NETBIOS drivers are \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\LANPDD.OS2 and LANVDD.OS2)
