129.219.120.138 is the bsdbox -- its the samba server.

here's something to add to the plot.

1) my samba server at 129.219.120.183 seems to have a problem
correctly resolving the netbios name npcenter.  It can connect using
the ip address of 129.219.120.138. 

2) another samba server in the same subnet correctly resolves the
netbios name npcenter -- finds the right machine and connects.

3) another samba server in a differnet subnet/differnet
building/differnet broadcast region successfully connects to the
npcenter netbios name

4) so it would seem there is a configuration error on my samba machine
at 120.183 -- however, the returned line from smbclient -L 
...
nonymous login successful
Domain=[CUI] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_DUPLICATE_NAME
...

would indicate a connection was made to a machine in a TOTALLY
different subnet and domain.  the CUI domain is in a very different
building/different subnet.  things are getting curiouser and
curiouser..
