Do you have a WINS server on the network?  If so, set
        wins server = 192.8.8.x

nmblookup can look at /etc/hosts, behaviour controlled by 
        name resolve order = [lmhosts] [host] [wins] [bcast]
in the order you want.  Default is
        name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast

Set it to 
                wins bcast

to mimic what a W95 machine would see.
