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-PeerPoint-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.

Next Server — Specifies the IP address of the next server in the boot process of a DHCP client.

Next Server Name — Specifies the name of the next server in the boot process. The server name may contain up to 64 characters.
