Step 3: Verify the NetBIOS Protocol Status

Check the NetBIOS protocol layer. Most NetBIOS modules provide test tools that test the connectivity between NetBIOS names over the network.

Connectivity between nodes using TCP/IP may be available, but if connectivity between NetBIOS names is not working then SunLink Server software will not work. All SunLink Server communications are based on NetBIOS name sessions. Use the test tools provided with your protocol software to verify NetBIOS level connectivity. If you find a problem, isolate it according to the information provided with the NetBIOS protocol documentation.
