Section 3 - Configuration
NetBIOS Scope: 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.
NetBIOS Node: This field 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 configured WINS servers. M-Node (default) indicates a Mixed-Mode of operation. First a 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 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 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.
