    Ok that works. I had tried "netbiosname" but not "servernetbiosname"
    (only fuzzy memories from the last win98 encounter and the suggestion
    to use netbiossomething).

    I think servernetbiosname should implicitly be assumed to be the
    same as the //hostpart/ when it's not explicitly specified, no?
