Node Types
The node type of a networked computer relates to the way it resolves NetBIOS names to IP addresses. There are four node types.
- B-node: 0x01 Broadcast
- P-node: 0x02 Peer (WINS only)
- M-node: 0x04 Mixed (broadcast, then WINS)
- H-node: 0x08 Hybrid (WINS, then broadcast)
The node type in use is displayed by opening a command line and typing ipconfig /all. A Windows computer registry may also be configured in such a way as to display "unknown" for the node type.

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“The American man is a very simple and cheap mechanism. The American woman I find a complicated and expensive one. Contrasts of feminine types are possible. I am not absolutely sure that there is more than one American man.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
