Nope, not even with the IP address:

smbclient //samba/art -I 172.17.1.3
added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
added interface ip=172.17.1.3 bcast=172.17.3.255 nmask=255.255.252.0
session request to SAMBA failed (Not listening for calling name)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening for calling name)

I'm starting to think it must be something to do with my weird DNS setup 
after all.
