NetBIOS WINS Server — Specifies the NetBIOS WINS server available to a Microsoft DHCP static
host.
•
NetBIOS Node Type — Informs the workstation how to resolve the NetBIOS name. Valid node types
are:
–
Broadcast — IP broadcast messages are used to register and resolve NetBIOS names to IP
addresses.
–
Peer-to-Peer — Point-to-point communications with a NetBIOS name server are used to register
and resolve computer names to IP addresses.
–
Mixed — A combination (mix) of b-node and p-node communications is used to register and
resolve NetBIOS names. M-node first uses b-node; then, if necessary, p-node. M-node is typically
not the best choice for larger networks because its preference for b-node broadcasts increases
network traffic.
–
Hybrid — A hybrid combination of b-node and p-node is used. When configured to use h-node, a
computer always tries p-node first and uses b-node only if p-node fails. This is the default.
•
SNTP Server — Specifies the time server for the DHCP static host.
