H node is probably you best bet. Less broadcast traffic.
Less traffic is the key to a good network. -----Original Message----- From: Barr, Christopher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 5:34 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Appropriate Win2K DHCP settings???? I am alittle confused, I have 2 DHCP servers, Both have been configured to use the 0x1 (BNode) setting which I do understand is the older method by way of Brodcast messages. Does both of these DHCP servers need to be exactly the same or can I use any combination, my thinking was to make our RRAS server to be the BNode, and to make the main Server hosting DNS, Wins & DHCP the HNode. I guess I am confused as to whether there are specific setting for networks that are WIN2K with AD, to those like mine still running a NT4.0 PDC (which doesn't do any of the DHCP / DNS / WINS resolutions. Anyone who can provide me with alittle more insight would be greatly appreciated. This is what I have: BNode: BNode is name resolution using broadcast messages; it is the oldest method of name resolution used on Microsoft(r) networks. PNode: Hosts configured for PNode use WINS for name resolution. PNode types register themselves with the WINS Server, which then functions as a NetBIOS server. MNode: MNode computers will first use BNode name resolution, which succeeds only if the desired host is on the local network. If this fails, MNode will then attempt a PNode to resolve the name. HNode: HNode is a combination of both BNode and PNode. In this respect it is much like MNode. MNode first resolves addresses using WINS; HNode will use the local name server and then revert to broadcast (BNode). This is the current configuration for NT implementations ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% *****This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the addressee.
