- 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.
- Mixed—A combination 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.
- Peer-to-Peer—Point-to-point communications with a NetBIOS name 
server are used to register and resolve computer names to IP addresses.
- Broadcast—IP Broadcast messages are used to register and resolve 
NetBIOS names to IP addresses.
