If NetBIOS announcement is switched on, it will cause WINS information to be learned from the WAN side, if available. Turn this
setting o to congure manually.
This is an advanced setting and is normally left blank. This allows the conguration of a NetBIOS domain name under which network
hosts operate. This setting has no eect if Learn NetBIOS information from WAN is activated.
This eld indicates how network hosts are to perform NetBIOS name registration and discovery. H-Node 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 congured 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
operations 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 indicates to use WINS servers ONLY. This setting is useful to force all NetBIOS
operations to the congured WINS servers. You must have congured at least the primary WINS server IP to point to a working
WINS server. B-Node indicates to use local network broadcast ONLY. This setting is useful where there are no WINS servers available,
however, it is preferred that you try M-Node operation rst. This setting has no eect if the Learn NetBIOS information from WAN
option is activated.
