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. |
Hybrid | Attempts to resolve by first using an NBNS and then using a NetBIOS name query. |
