[Samba] Problem with nmbd

My Samba installation seems to work fine, except for the NetBIOS names part.
When I use nmblookup, it appears to be using the wrong broadcast address and the
log file for nmbd has constant 'Packet send failed, Host is down'
messages. If I use nmblookup and force the broadcast address with -B, it seems
to work.

 The docs seem to say you can specify a broadcast address in smb.conf, but I
can't find information on the format needed. From what I can gather, the
query needs to go to 10.0.0.0 and not 10.0.0.255 (as it is currently trying).

 How can I set that?

 Thanks.
