New Er, no.
TCP/IP uses broadcasts - simply send your packet to x.x.x.255, for a Class C example.

We route NetBIOS across distinct networks to enable NT4 boxes to participate in SMB browsing. The only caveat is that you must disable the Computer Browser service on the box doing the routing, or else use a dedicated router. (The reason being that on a multihomed box, if the Browser service is running, it won't propagate NetBIOS browse traffic across interfaces.)

Well, it's terminology at some point - the key issue is address information in a packet.

Are you saying you have a separate NetBIOS protocol installed on some machines, or some all NetBIOS programs? If so then the routers are intelligently converting it to NBT or something like that and sending that among themselves. There's extra information supplied by the router. This is no different in principle than using NBT on the client.
