How much experience do you have with linux/unix?
If you are going to navigate this OS, you will have to have some basic
scripting skills and be able to read the manpages. If you don't/can't do
this, stick with NT. 
Did you try the winserver lookup? Often they are used.
The command:
nmblookup -M '-' looks promising.
Why not just turn off nmbd before you run findsmb?
If you have the ip number, try nmblookup -A ipnumber
Here is a simple script to get what you want:

nmblookup '*' -B 192.168.0.0 | sed -n "/^[0-9]/p" | cut -d" " -f1 | xargs -n1 -i{} nmblookup -A {} | grep \<00\>   | grep -v GROUP | sed "s/\t//" | sed "s/ .*//"
You may have to modify this, depending on what sort of output you get from
the various commands.
Then, you can feed these netbios names into your smbclient -M command.
