TDI_ADDRESS_NETBIOS

TDI_ADDRESS_NETBIOS_EX

typedef struct _TDI_ADDRESS_NETBIOS_EX {
   UCHAR               EndpointName[16];               
   TDI_ADDRESS_NETBIOS NetbiosAddress;
} TDI_ADDRESS_NETBIOS_EX, *PTDI_ADDRESS_NETBIOS_EX;

TDI_ADDRESS_NETBIOS_EX contains an extended NetBIOS address, packed and aligned correctly.

Members

EndpointName: Specifies the name to be presented to the destination machine in the NETBIOS session-setup request packet.
NetbiosAddress: Specifies a NetBIOS address from which the local-node transport derives the transport address of the target remote node.

Comments

A TRANSPORT_ADDRESS structure contains a specified number of elements of type TA_ADDRESS. TDI_ADDRESS_NETBIOS_EX defines the Address member of a TA_ADDRESS structure in which the AddressType is set to TDI_ADDRESS_TYPE_NETBIOS_EX.

The AddressLength member(s) of the TA_ADDRESS substructure(s) can be set to the system-defined constant TDI_ADDRESS_LENGTH_NETBIOS_EX.

This structure can be used by a kernel-mode client connecting to a NETBIOS service on a remote machine, assuming the underlying TDI transport supports this operation.

For example, suppose the registered name for the NETBIOS service on a remote machine is "FooService" and the DNS name for the remote machine is something like "MyRemoteMachine.Microsoft.com." Such a client could use a TDI_ADDRESS_NETBIOS_EX structure in which EndpointName was set to FooService and NetbiosAddress was set to MyRemoteMachine.Microsoft.com when the client issued the TDI_CONNECT request to its underlying transport.

The system-supplied NETBT (NetBIOS over TCP/IP) transport uses the TDI_ADDRESS_NETBIOS_EX structure in this manner to support the SMB file server/redirector.
