Probe Retries —Indicates the amount of time (seconds) the DHCP probes before
deciding that no other network device has an IP address which DHCP will
allocate.

Primary WINS Server —Indicates the primary WINS server IP address.
Secondary WINS Server

Node Type —Indicates the NetBios type defines how resources are identified and
accessed. There are four options:
•
Broadcast —Uses broadcast to resolve names. Default when WINS servers
are not in place.
•
Point-to-Point —Uses point-to-point communications with WINS servers
to resolve names.
•
Mixed —Uses the broadcast type first, if routers are crossed, point-to-point
is used.
•
Hybrid —Uses point-to-point for name queries first. If this fails (i.e., the
WINS server fails), broadcast is used to resolve names until the hybrid
polling feature learns that the WINS server is functioning again.
