There are 4 types of the NetBIOS nodes of the Microsoft DHCP client:
1) Broadcast, which carries out the NetBIOS name resolution by the
broadcast method, 2) Peer-to-peer, which directly requests the WINS
server to carry out the NetBIOS name resolution, 3) Mixed, which
requests the name resolution by the broadcast method firstly, and
then carry out the name resolution by the WINS server connection, 4)
Hybrid, which requests the WINS server to carry out the NetBIOS
name resolution firstly, and it will carry out the NetBIOS name
resolution by the broadcast method if the response is not received.
By default, the node type for Microsoft operating system is broadcast
or hybrid. If the WINS server is not configured, broadcast node is
used. Otherwise, hybrid node is used. It is recommended to set the
type of the NetBIOS node as Hybrid.
