How to enable netbios protocol via netsh command?

Question

How can I enable netbios via the netsh command on windows XP?

Answer 1

While not explicitly using netsh, there are ways to do this using wmic:

wmic nicconfig get caption,index,TcpipNetbiosOptions

Then use the index for your interface in the following command:

wmic nicconfig where index=x call SetTcpipNetbios 1

I was unable to get the first command to work on Windows 7 but executing the following and then counting (from 0) gives you the index:

wmic nicconfig get caption
