In my case I have to add the ipaddress or it does not work. The manpage of mount.cifs says that this option has to be used rarely. But it's my experience sometimes when mounting a Win2K or WinXP machine, it does not work. (CIFS expects the tcp name and not the netbiosname, smbfs did that)
So I cannot say it's a really "must", but at least it cannot "hurt". You're on the safe side when using the ipaddress. Well I should add this script to the package autofs, replacing the auto.smb, if you want my opinion. Smbfs is not supported anymore in the latest kernels. Stef
