SUMMARY
By default, the NetBIOS name resolution mode used by NetBIOS over TCP/IP is B-node mode. If a WINS server is specified in the TCP/IP configuration, the default mode is H-node.
MORE INFORMATION
In Windows for Workgroup running TCP/IP-32, these default settings can be modified to change to NetBIOS name resolution mode to B-node, P-node, M-node, or H-node.
To change the NetBIOS name resolution order:
- Open the SYSTEM.INI file with a text editor.
- In the [NBT] section, add the following entry:
NodeType = 1, 2, 4, or 8
These values specify the mode of NetBIOS name resolution used by NetBIOS over TCP/IP, where:
1 = b-node
2 = p-node
4 = m-node
8 = h-node. - Save your changes and restart Windows.
NOTE: For more details on node type implementation refer to TCP/IP-32 online help.
