We used ethereal to capture packets, here is what is showed when  
using 1.1.9:
SMB	Session Setup AndX Request, User: \xxxxxxx; Tree Connect AndX,  
Path: \\10.15.1.135\IPC$

I don't have the exact output for a newer library, but Path was the  
fqdn of the AD machine instead of the IP address.

Hope this helps,
