Configuring SMB
 |
|
Server Message Block (SMB) is a protocol for sharing resources, such as files and printers, with more than one device in a network. The machine uses SMB to register a WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) server to obtain the IP address from the server. Depending on your network, you may have to set the NetBIOS name and workgroup name. Configuring WINS

NetBIOS Name
In a Windows network that uses NetBIOS, NetBIOS names are used for identifying network-connected computers as well as for file sharing and other network services. Most computers use the computer name as the NetBIOS name.
Workgroup Name
Workgroup name is a name for grouping multiple computers so that basic network functions, such as file sharing, become available in a Windows network. Specify the workgroup name to identify the group that the machine belongs to.
