Yup!
If you say nmblookup -B client '*' (where client is
the actual name of the client machine). you should
get something like:
Sending queries to 192.168.236.10 192.168.236.10 *
Got a positive name query response from 192.168.236.10
(192.168.236.10)
This sounds a lot like a WINS, /etc/hosts or DNS problem,
as nmblookup should be converting 'client' to 192.168.236.10
as in the example.
