nmblookup -r -S -U <IP ADDRESS> '*'  works if you run it from a
machine that is not running nmbd (already has port 137 bound)

The problem is that windows 95 does not answer if the packet does not
come from port 137.

For Windows 98 or Windows NT targets you do not need the -r and it can
be run on a machine with a running nmbd
