Setting Up NetBIOS Support (Workgroup only)
By default, NetBIOS is supported among PSQL Workgroup engines. If you have modified the default settings or need to verify that NetBIOS support is available, refer to this section.
*Note: In order to perform any of the tasks in this section, you must be seated at the console of the machine running the Workgroup engine. You cannot remotely configure the Workgroup engine.

To Enable NetBIOS Support
Complete the following steps to ensure that the database engine can communicate with clients over NetBIOS networks.
1
Access Control Center (PCC) from the operating system Start menu or Apps screen.
2
In the PSQL Explorer, double-click Engines to display a list of the engines registered with PCC.
3
Right-click the target engine then click Properties. Login if prompted.
4
Click Communication Protocols, and the list of Supported protocols displays. If NetBIOS is checked, then NetBIOS is already supported.
5
Click NetBIOS then restart the database engine for the changes to take effect.
*Tip: Remember that you also need to confirm that the client software on your other Workgroup computers are configured to use NetBIOS, as well. Please refer to Chapter 10, Configuring Network Communications for Clients.
