Learn NetBIOS

from WAN:

NetBIOS Scope:

NetBIOS Node:

WINS IP Address:

If NetBIOS announcement is switched on, it will cause WINS information to be learned from the WAN side, if available. Turn this

setting oﬀ to conﬁgure manually.

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).
