/**
 * This class represents a NetBIOS over TCP/IP address. Under normal
 * conditions, users of jCIFS need not be concerned with this class as
 * name resolution and session services are handled internally by the smb package.
 * 
 * <p> Applications can use the methods <code>getLocalHost</code>,
 * <code>getByName</code>, and
 * <code>getAllByAddress</code> to create a new NbtAddress instance. This
 * class is symmetric with {@link java.net.InetAddress}.
 *
 * <p><b>About NetBIOS:</b> The NetBIOS name
 * service is a dynamic distributed service that allows hosts to resolve
 * names by broadcasting a query, directing queries to a server such as
 * Samba or WINS. NetBIOS is currently the primary networking layer for
 * providing name service, datagram service, and session service to the
 * Microsoft Windows platform. A NetBIOS name can be 15 characters long
 * and hosts usually registers several names on the network. From a
 * Windows command prompt you can see
 * what names a host registers with the nbtstat command.
 * <p><blockquote><pre>

 * <p> The hostname of this machine is <code>JMORRIS2</code>. It is
 * a member of the group(a.k.a workgroup and domain) <code>BILLING-NY</code>. To
 * obtain an {@link java.net.InetAddress} for a host one might do:
 *
 * <pre>
 *   InetAddress addr = NbtAddress.getByName( "jmorris2" ).getInetAddress();
 * </pre>
 * <p>From a UNIX platform with Samba installed you can perform similar
 * diagnostics using the <code>nmblookup</code> utility.

 * sent on the wire and the only state this object has is it's IP address
 * (but that's enough to connect to a host using *SMBSERVER for CallingName).

 * 2) IP Address, NetBIOS name, nodeType, groupName - If however a
 * legal NetBIOS name string is used a name query request will retreive
 * the IP, node type, and whether or not this NbtAddress represents a
 * group name. This degree of state can be obtained with a Name Query
 * Request or Node Status Request.
 * 
 * 3) All - The NbtAddress will be populated with all state such as mac
 * address, isPermanent, isBeingDeleted, ...etc. This information can only
 * be retrieved with the Node Status request.
 * 
 * The degree of state that an NbtAddress has is dependant on how it was
 * created and what is required of it. The second degree of state is the
 * most common. This is the state information that would be retrieved from
 * WINS for example. Natrually it is not practical for every NbtAddress
 * to be populated will all state requiring a Node Status on every host
 * encountered. The below methods allow state to be populated when requested
