Nope. I get:

         netbios name = SAMBA
         netbios aliases =
         netbios scope =

Strangely, there's nothing in the log for the machine in question either - 
nothing at all, that is, rather than nothing relevant.

I've just added a CNAME record for 'samba' to the DNS, and that changed the 
response slightly:

added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0

Got a positive name query response from 172.17.1.2 ( 172.17.1.3 )
session request to SAMBA failed (Not listening for calling name)
