FAILED tests/SMB_RPC/test_smbserver.py::SimpleSMBServerFuncTests::test_smbserver_connect_disconnect_tree - impacket.nmb.NetBIOSTimeout: The NETBIOS connection with the remote host timed out.

To reproduce it I run:

tox -e py3.13 -- tests/SMB_RPC/test_smbserver.py

I tried to figure out the issue but I couldn't.

Hello, thanks for reporting! We are not supporting offically 3.13 at the moment. Anyway, we plan to do it in the short term, so this report it's useful. We will keep you updated as soon as we can get more details about the issue. Thanks!

Hi @anadrianmanrique,

Thanks for the response. I will patch out these tests to avoid break the Py3.13 transition.

I will keep my eyes here to avoid ignore this issue.

cheers!
