What's happening is that you are not getting the netbios name correct -
you must specify the correct netbios name of the remote host or it will
reject the session request. Or specify the machine by IP, and set the
name as '*SMBSERVER' (assuming remote is not Win9X)
Cleaning up this code for more consistant behaviour is on my longer-term
todo list.
