Since the NetBIOS set of protocols is quite complicated, and there are hundreds of scenarios where things might go wrong, we will try to provide some guidelines for how to look for common problems and what might go wrong.
Analyzing problems in the NetBIOS/SMB protocols
Getting ready
NetBIOS protocols work in Windows environments, along with macOS and Linux machines communicating with Windows. When facing problems such as instability, slow response times, disconnections, and so on in these environments, NetBIOS issues can be one of the reasons. When facing these problems, the tool for solving...
