nmblookup apparently doesn't read smb.conf. So it won't know about
your WINS server, etc.
To use nmblookup against a WINS server, use `-R -U xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'.
(I wish this were better documented -- for a very long time I couldn't
get WINS lookups to work because I didn't know that the -R was needed.)
