Session Request Failed

Just recently all but a few of the Win98 samba servers on the network I
am connected to seem to be unable to accept session requests. At first I
thought it was a faulty version of smbclient, so I upgraded to 2.0.6,
but it didn't solve the problem. When I query for master browsers with
"nmblookup -M -" a list of master browsers is given. But when I query a
master browser for servers, I have been getting the error "session
request to ... failed (Called name not present)" I have no clue as to
why this should suddenly happen. When I do manage to connect to a valid
master browser, I get the same error, but a list of servers is given to
me anyway. Any ideas?
