You will never see something useful coming out of this one.

-B means "a broadcast address follows". From the man page for 
nmblookup you can see there has to follow another name: the name you 
are looking for. If nmblookup does not come up with an usage 
explanation, its argument evaluation algorithm is simply broken.

Well, what you told nmblookup is to look for nothing at the broadcast 
address ABNER (translated to an IP address). Try

    nmblookup -B ABNER '*'

How do you do that? Which command?

nmblookup is only for name resolution. If you can transfer _anything_, 
all needed names are already resolved, so I guess there is something 
else in your way.
