NetBIOS is an API designed for the PC. Implementations exist for various protocols, including TCP/IP, IPX, and NetBEUI. NBT (NetBIOS over TCP, RFC's 1001/1002) comes standard with Win95 and NT. > There is no extra work required. It works as long as you can make the > TCP/IP hosts known to the participating machines.

I think there are public WINS servers on the Internet as well, not sure how they do registration. One site is at winserve.com.
