Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To improve network performance, change option 046 to 0x2, P-node.
Key Takeaway: RFC defines four node types for NetBIOS or WINS resolutions: Broadcast node (b-node), point-to-point node (p-node), mixed nodes (m-node), and hybrid node (h-node). A station can be configured as any of these node types, but b-node and h-node types are the most common. Each node type uses a different process for resolving NetBIOS names.
