NetBIOS over TCP/IP node types

• b-node: broadcast of the name asking for IP
• p-node: peer-to-peer using NBNS such as WINS
• m-node: mix of b and p, defaults to b-node, if fails uses p-node resolution
• h-node: hybrid of b and p, defaults to p-node, if fails uses b-node resolution
• Microsoft enhanced b-node: loads LMHOSTS in local cache when TCP/IP starts. If fails to resolve then starts broadcast query
• NetBIOS over TCP/IP in Windows is NetBT
