It value of the I_option is hardcoded as you see above, but it
should be whatever IP address is returned by nmblookup. So if
$Conf{NmbLookupFindHostCmd} is setup correctly, the -I option should
be set to the correct IP address. Perhaps the Win98 machine isn't
setup to respond to nmblookup muticast requests, or the netmask
doesn't match, etc? Try running $Conf{NmbLookupFindHostCmd}
manually to investigate.
As Nate points out, the 2nd best choice is what you did: just
omit $I_option in the SmbClientXXXCmd entries and put in
whatever you want.
