I can count 17 characters...

According to Microsoft:

"The NetBIOS naming convention allows for 16 characters in a NetBIOS name. 
Microsoft, however, limits NetBIOS names to 15 characters and uses the 
16th character as a NetBIOS suffix. "

and 

"All NetBIOS names are 16 characters in length. A NetBIOS suffix is the 
16th character of the 16-character NetBIOS name. The NetBIOS suffix is 
used by Microsoft Networking software to identify functionality installed 
on the registered device. "

Names are padded with spaces to 15 bytes, plus the NetBIOS suffix in the 
16th byte.
