This article was previously published under Q150881 SUMMARY
Routers do not normally forward b-node broadcasts. NetBIOS over TCP/IP uses
b-node broadcasts for name resolution and registration on your local LAN
segment. If you want your router to forward b-node broadcasts, you must
enable UDP ports 137 and 138.
