How to Use the NBTStat Utility   241 

Use the NBTStat utility to troubleshoot NetBIOS name resolution problems. NetBIOS 

over TCP/IP (NetBT) resolves NetBIOS names to IP addresses. TCP/IP provides many 
options for NetBIOS name resolution, including local cache lookup, WINS server 

query, broadcast, DNS server query, and Lmhosts and Hosts file lookup. 

To run NBTStat from the Support Tools Dashboard: 

1.  Use the System Select screen to select the system you want to work with. 

2.  From the Dashboard menu, select Cisco Common Tools > NBTStat. 

3.  In the Arguments field, enter desired arguments, as described in the Using 

section below. 

4.  Specify the command duration time or accept the default (60 seconds). This is 

the amount of time the command will attempt to run before terminating.  

5.  If desired, check Elevate Command Priority. This ensures the command will run 

regardless of the level of server activity. 

6.  Click the Run button.
