I am a little naive, not having read RFC's 1001 and 1002, but I would like to know, is the RFC 1001,1002 NetBios principle compatible with the NFS protocol? -- Bitnet: david@wubios.wustl ^ Mr. David J.

RFCs 1001/1002 define a mapping from NETBIOS INT 5C calls to TCP and UDP transport-level operations. A NETBIOS "call" translates into a TCP active open from a random local port to port 139 on the destination machine. A somewhat baroque incompatible relative of the Domain Name System is used to associate 16-byte NETBIOS names with IP addresses. Datagrams and status calls use UDP. As such, this doesn't look anything like NFS, which uses RPC calls over either UDP or TCP, and doesn't have a concept of "session". James B.
