The nbtstat – a < name > or nbtstat – a < IP address > command performs a NetBIOS adapter status command on the computer name specified by < name >.

The nbtstat – c option shows the contents of the NetBIOS name cache, which contains NetBIOS name-to-IP address mappings.

nbtstat -n displays the names that have been registered locally on the system by NetBIOS applications such as the server and redirector.
