Right.  That's what I said.  The messenger service netbios name
(0x03) is a unique name meaning it can only be register to a single
address.

Of courswe it is very easy to verify whether or not I am right by
viewing the netbios name cache on the windows clients via
"nbtstat -n".  If I'm right, you will only see the username<0x03> on
one of the clients.
