NetBIOS Scope:

NetBIOS Node:

WINS IP

Address:

This is an advanced setting and is normally left blank. This allows the configuration of a NetBIOS ‘domain’ name under which network

hosts operate. This setting has no effect if the ‘Learn NetBIOS information from WAN’ is activated.

This field indicates how network hosts are to perform NetBIOS name registration and discovery. H-Node, this indicates a Hybrid-State

of operation. First WINS servers are tried, if any, followed by local network broadcast. This is generally the preferred mode if you

have configured WINS servers. M-Node (default), this indicates a Mixed-Mode of operation. First Broadcast operation is performed

to register hosts and discover other hosts, if broadcast operation fails, WINS servers are tried, if any. This mode favours broadcast

operation which may be preferred if WINS servers are reachable by a slow network link and the majority of network services such as

servers and printers are local to the LAN. P-Node, this indicates to use WINS servers ONLY. This setting is useful to force all NetBIOS

operation to the configured WINS servers. You must have configured at least the primary WINS server IP to point to a working WINS

server. B-Node, this indicates to use local network broadcast ONLY. This setting is useful where there are no WINS servers available,

however, it is preferred you try M-Node operation first. This setting has no effect if the ‘Learn NetBIOS information from WAN’ is

activated.

Enter your WINS Server IP address(es).
