OK, here is what I performed so far:
I changed /etc/dhcpd.conf to add this from the MAN pages:
option netbios-node-type uint8;
The NetBIOS node type option allows NetBIOS over TCP/IP
clients which are configurable to be configured as
described in RFC 1001/1002. The value is specified as
a single octet which identifies the client type.
Possible node types are:
1 B-node: Broadcast - no WINS
2 P-node: Peer - WINS only.
4 M-node: Mixed - broadcast, then WINS
8 H-node: Hybrid - WINS, then broadcast
Based on the above information, I added this line to the conf file:
option netbios-node-type 1;
I then stopped the DHCP service and restarted. Released and renewed home pc
and laptop ip's, neither had the correct broadcast type, the ip stack looked
the same as before I added the netbios-node-type.
I then checked the /etc/dhcpd.conf file and the setting is still in place
that was added.
I then edited /etc/network.conf to turn DNS on, it was set to NO
CONFIG_DNS=YES
I saved, backed-up to floppy and rebooted the router.
I then released and renewed the ip stack on both PC's, home stack shows
Broadcast network, work pc shows Hybrid
I am beginning to think WinXP does not really support two networks. Did I do
something wrong?

Well, I haven't made the leap to XP yet, but earlier versions of 'doze
had the ability to manually enter DNS servers, or to get them via DHCP.
In Win2K, this is in networking properties (for the specific adaptor) /
TCP/IP Properties / general...there's a check-box for "Obtain DNS server
address automatically".
You should have something similar in XP, I hope, which should at least
get your DNS resolving.
I'd also try setting your netbios-node-type to broadcast only in the
firewall's /etc/dhcpd.conf file, which will hopefully override your WINS
setting, even if you can't get the WINS server IP to go away when on the
home LAN (Win2K at least doesn't have an equivelent "Obtain WINS server
address automatically" option...just the one for DNS. XP might be
different).
Good luck!
