	Broadcast	A broadcast node.

The node type determines the way in which NetBIOS names are resolved to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The following table shows the name resolution method for each node type.

Node type	Resolve name to IP address
Broadcast	Uses NetBIOS name queries.
Peer2Peer	Uses a NetBIOS name server (NBNS), for example, Windows Internet Name Service (WINS).
Mixed	Attempts to resolve by first using NetBIOS name queries and then using an NBNS.
