While in general I would agree with you - that the NETBIOS name is useless.
The way to fix this, is of course, to run the firewall and/or management
console on LINUX or SUN rather than on WinNT. :-)

In my opinion, trying to resolve the Netbios name is a complete 
botch, on several counts:

1.  It is generally speaking *USELESS* information.  (I suppose it 
could be quite useful to crackers, but what good does it do *ME* in 
defending my system against flying infectious space junk to know that 
someone scanning me has named their computer PLUTO or hasn't changed 
it from OEMCOMPUTER?)
