- TITLE :INF: Tuning Sessions, Names, and NCBs for NetBIOS Applications
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The Names, Sessions, and NCB parameters in Microsoft LAN Manager were
- exposed through the PROTOCOL.INI file and applied for various NetBIOS
- applications. The Windows NT NetBIOS redirector uses TDI for transport
- related communications. Various NetBIOS applications need to change
- the default values for Names, Sessions and NCBs. Under Windows NT,
- there is no interface or Registry parameter with which to set or
- changes these values.
-
- In order to change these values for a NetBIOS application, the
- application needs to use the NetBIOS RESET command. For NetBIOS 3.0,
- the application must issue a NetBIOS RESET command as the very first
- command. The RESET command specifies the resources needed by the
- application. To accomplish this, the application should set the
- following fields in the RESET command NCB (network control block):
-
- NCB_CALLNAME[0] (One byte, maximum number of sessions)
- NCB_CALLNAME[1] (One byte, maximum number of NCBs or commands)
- NCB_CALLNAME[2] (One byte, maximum number of names)
-
- The default values for these fields are:
-
- NCB_CALLNAME[0] 16 (Sessions)
- NCB_CALLNAME[1] 16 (Commands)
- NCB_CALLNAME[2] 8 (Names)
