  Yes, I was afraid that would be the case.

  I have only a small network, mostly two computers and a NAS, so I know
the NetBIOS names and can check things with nbtstat (-n and -r (and, if
needed, -a and -R or -RR)), but for a bigger network or/and unknown
NetBIOS names, that's of course not feasible.

  Good luck.
