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 o to congure manually.
This is an advanced setting and is normally left blank. This
allows the conguration of a NetBIOS ‘domain’ name under
which network hosts operate. This setting has no eect if the
‘Learn NetBIOS information from WAN’ is activated.
This eld indicates how network hosts are to perform NetBIOS
name registration and discovery. Hybrid or 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 congured WINS
servers. Mixed-mode or 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. Point-to-point or P-Node, this indicates
to use WINS servers ONLY. This setting is useful to force all
NetBIOS operation to the congured WINS servers. You must
have congured at least the primary WINS server IP to point
to a working WINS server. Broadcast only or 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 rst. This setting has no
eect if the ‘Learn NetBIOS information from WAN’ is activated.
Enter your WINS Server IP address(es).
