Yes, I thought that was strange as well, yet, here's what nmblookup
finds.

bash-2.05a$ winsq npcenter
querying npcenter on 129.219.13.105
129.219.120.138 npcenter<00>
Looking up status of 129.219.120.138
        NPCENTER        <00> -         M <ACTIVE>
        NPCENTER        <03> -         M <ACTIVE>
        NPCENTER        <20> -         M <ACTIVE>
        ..__MSBROWSE__. <01> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE>
        NPCGROUP        <00> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE>
        NPCGROUP        <1b> -         M <ACTIVE>
        NPCGROUP        <1d> -         M <ACTIVE>
        NPCGROUP        <1e> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE>

is there a way to use smbclient with an ip address to bypass any name
resolution differences that may be happening between windows and unix?
