GET NetBEUI (pronounced net-booey) is an acronym for NetBIOS Extended User Interface. It is an enhanced version of the NetBIOS protocol used by network operating systems such as LAN Manager, LAN Server, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 and Windows NT. NetBEUI was originally designed by IBM for their LAN Manager server and later extended by Microsoft and Novell.
NetBIOS generally refers to a programming API. In its early days though, it was a networking protocol. The protocol's API became a de-facto standard. It has since been adapted to work over various other protocols such as IPX/SPX and TCP/IP. The original version of the NetBIOS protocol has evolved into the NetBEUI protocol.
