What is NetBIOS? NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System) refers to a concept originally conceived by IBM and Sytek as an Application Programming Interface (API) for client software to access LAN resources. NetBIOS has since been adopted as an industry standard and now it offers network applications a chance to fill up the previous communication gaps by carrying out inter-application communication and data transfer. In a basic sense, NetBIOS allows applications to talk to the network.
