Hmm. I've tested all four of these options with smbclient -R and they all 
fail in some way. WINS and bcast get a positive name query response and the 
same 'calling name' error. Also, I've just discovered that any Windows 
client that isn't logged in as me (ie. doesn't have a UNIX account on the 
server) gets 'The network path cannot be found' when trying to connect to 
any share.

So it's definitely some freak of the DNS/netBIOS interaction. I found these 
rather bizarre-looking entries in my nmbd log:

added interface ip=172.17.1.3 bcast=172.17.3.255 nmask=255.255.252.0
                    ^^^^^^^^^^       ^^^^^^^^^^^^
making subnet name:172.17.1.3 Broadcast address:172.17.3.255 Subnet 
mask:255.255.252.0
                    ^^^^^^^^^^                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is the latest chunk of log.nmbd. I can't set domain master browser 
since we have an NT4 PDC..
