TCP/IP Node-Type Settings in Windows 95Last reviewed: March 2, 1998Article ID: Q142042 |
The information in this article applies to:
The four TCP/IP node types are defined by number in Windows 95:
1 - bnode (broadcast only) 2 - pnode (WINS only) 4 - mnode (broadcast, then WINS) 8 - hnode (WINS, then broadcast)The default Windows 95 TCP/IP node types are:
If DHCP=False, and WINS is disabled, then NodeType=1 (bnode) If DHCP=False, and WINS is manually set, then NodeType=8 (hnode) If DHCP=True, and DHCP sets WINS, then NodeType=8 (hnode) If DHCP=True, and WINS is manually set, then NodeType=8 (hnode) If DHCP=True, and WINS is disabled, then NodeType=1 (bnode)NOTE: If WINS server options are provided via DHCP then Node Type should be set using DHCP option 46; however, locally defining a WINS server on the client will override these two options, as locally defined WINS servers automatically set your node type to H-Node. The node type can be manually changed by editing the Windows 95 registry. The location is under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree under the following subkey:
\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\VXD\MSTCP\NodeTypeand the four values listed above (1,2,4,8) are valid values for NodeType.
