• 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 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 - Enter the IP address of the time server for the DHCP client. - Next Server - Enter the IP address of the next server in the boot process of a DHCP client.
