	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.
