samba - Mar 2001 - session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present)

Hi, I am trying to list the shares on a windows ME machine and I am getting
the following

[root]# smbclient -L 192.168.0.253
added interface ip=192.168.0.1 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
session request to 192.168.0.253 failed (Called name not present)
session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present)

I have also tried various other options that all end with the same error, I
search the web for a solution and found plenty of people asking a silimar
question, but have been unable to find a fix... anyone have a idea of what
is going on here? Thanx!

You need to use a netbios name, not an IP.  Use
nmblookup -A <ipaddr> to get the registered netbios
names for a client.  Make sure you read the nmblookup(1)
man page first.
