congure manually.

WAN is activated.
This eld indicates how network hosts are to perform NetBIOS name
registration and discovery. Broadcast only indicates to use local
network broadcast ONLY. This setting is useful where there are no WINS
servers available, however, it is recommended that you try Mixed-
mode operation rst. This setting has no eect if the Learn NetBIOS
information from WAN option is activated. Point-to-point 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.
Mixed-mode (default), this indicates a Mixed-Mode of operation. First
a broadcast operation is performed to register hosts and discover
other hosts, if the 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.
Hybrid 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.
