Why each option
To inform NetBIOS clients about the WINS server's IP address (192.168.1.2) using an ISC DHCP server, the `option netbios-name-servers` must be configured.
`option netbios-wins-servers` is not the correct or standard DHCP option syntax for specifying WINS server addresses.
`option wins-netbios-servers` is not the correct or standard DHCP option syntax for specifying WINS server addresses.
`option wins-name-servers` is not the correct or standard DHCP option syntax for specifying WINS server addresses.
The `option netbios-name-servers` is the standard DHCP option (option 44) used within an ISC DHCP server configuration to provide NetBIOS clients with the IP address of their designated WINS server. This allows clients to correctly resolve NetBIOS names.
