[Samba] Error with SMBCLIENT (Called name not present)

[Doug Lytle]

Adrian,

I'm having the same problem when using the machine's IP, but using the 
PCs network name, it works.  Actually, it'll work on Win2k also when not 
using the -L and the IP address..  You'll get the same errors, but it'll 
connect.  Win9x won't connect at all.
