What does the Netbios status <0> indicate?

File server
Workstation
Server
Router

The correct answer is: Workstation

The NetBIOS status <0> specifically indicates a workstation. In the context of NetBIOS, a status of <0> generally represents a workstation that is active on the network. This is usually associated with computers that are capable of running applications and managing resources such as files and printers. Each system on a NetBIOS network can register certain names and statuses, which help identify their functions. For example, when one sees a workstation using a NetBIOS status of <0>, it signifies that the device is not functioning as a server but rather as a client or user machine within the network. Understanding the NetBIOS naming conventions and statuses allows for effective network management and troubleshooting, ensuring that the role of each device in a network is appropriately recognized.
