I've been playing with smb and was curious how you would find the NetBIOS
name of a PC with smbclient (or any other way).  I can connect to a PC
(even one not on my same class network) as long as I know the NetBIOS
name.  Ex:  smbclient -I 10.1.1.1 -L nameofcomputer.  I don't have WINS
running and windows PC's don't have DNS entries here.  I guess finding the
name of a computer with a specific IP might be hard then but couln't you
still list the WORKGROUP PC's like opening up Network Neighborhood in
windows?
