Windows File Sharing and Samba

["Kaneda Akira" <k_aneda () yahoo com>]

I've noticed some strange things going on, though what's new with Windows.
I tried to follow this up but not getting anywhere.   I use NetWatcher on
windows 98 2nd edition to monitor the file shares on a small home LAN.  When
I connect from a redhat machine with the netbios name set to the same name
as the windows machine, it dosen't seem to log the connection.

Command used:
[root@riven /#] smbclient //windoze/c -n windoze

After connecting, NetWatcher says no connections....
When you don't set the netbios name to the name of the windows machine, it
sees the connection.

Can anyone else out there replicate this?

Operating Systems used:
Riven -> RedHat 7.0
Windoze -> Windows 98 2nd edition
