Well, server doesn't answer to nmblookup by broadcast:
$ nmblookup -B 192.168.1.255 frontier 
querying frontier on 192.168.1.255 
name_query failed to find name frontier 
 
If I query Samba via unicast, it answers OK: 
$ nmblookup -U frontier frontier 
querying frontier on 192.168.1.31 
192.168.1.31 frontier<00> 

For lo0 interface I get the error: Packet send failed to
127.255.255.255(137) ERRNO=Operation not permitted

Should it be that way?

Nope. I can debug it a little with "-d 5",  but don't see anything
intresting there either:
...
Socket opened.
querying frontier on 192.168.1.255
Sending a packet of len 50 to (192.168.1.255) on port 137
