 Secondary WINS Server IP address: Configure the IP address of the backup WINS
server, if any. This setting has no effect if the 'Learn NetBIOS information from WAN' is
activated.
 NetBIOS Scope: This is an advanced setting and is normally left blank. This allows the
configuration of a NetBIOS 'domain' name under which network hosts operate. This
setting has no effect if the 'Learn NetBIOS information from WAN' is activated.
 NetBIOS Registration Mode: Indicates how network hosts are to perform NetBIOS
name registration and discovery.
Broadcast only: Local network broadcast only. This setting is useful where there are no
WINS servers available, however, it is preferred you try Mixed Mode operation first. This
setting has no effect if the 'Learn NetBIOS information from WAN' is activated.
Point-to-Point: Use WINS servers only. This setting is useful to force all NetBIOS
operation to the configured WINS servers. You must have configured at least the
primary WINS server IP to point to a working WINS server.
Mixed Mode: First, the Broadcast operation is performed to register hosts and discover
other hosts, if broadcast operation fails; WINS servers are tried, if any. This mode favors
broadcast operation which may be preferred if WINS servers are reachable by a slow
network link and the majority of network services such as servers and printers are local
to the LAN.
Hybrid: First WINS servers are tried, if any, followed by local network broadcast. This is
generally the preferred mode if you have configured WINS servers.
