NetBios support in InetAddress.getByName

843790Feb 10 2009 — edited Feb 10 2009

Hi All,

Does jdk, in specific InetAddress.getByName support NetBIOS lookup. I have setup in which dnslookup fails. In this setup the lookup is done using NetBIOS protocol. When i try to execute a java program using jdk1.4 that lookup fails, i.e. InetAddress.getByName throws UnknownHostException.

So can some one clarify
1. Does JDK support NetBIOS lookup as it does for DNS
2. If so, from which version of JDK this feature is available

Thanks In Advance,
Veerabahu
