Richard is being polite.  :)

That definitley shows that you've connected to a W2K machine.  The best 
guess is that the name NPCENTER is in use by both machines, and that the 
W2K system is answering first when the query goes out (either that, or you 
are using WINS and the W2K system has registered that name in the NBNS 
database).

The NT_STATUS_DUPLICATE_NAME error code seems to confirm this, but I'm not 
sure.

A tcpdump trace showing ports 137 and 139 would help.
