Troubleshoot Unable To Reach NETBios Name

Asked By adolfo brown 50 points N/A Posted on - 04/14/2012

I have my netbios set up and ready, but the problem is it cannot communicate with other computers.

Is it a problem of IP addressing?

How can I troubleshoot this kind of error myself?

Troubleshoot Unable To Reach NETBios Name

Hello Adolfo,

The first thing you will need to do is determine which application is failing.

In most cases it is usually Telnet, Internet Explorer, net use , a server manager, or Ftp.

So after determining which one it will be easier to determine whether the problem is a host name or NetBIOS name resolution problem.

Regards,

Nicke
