This is as expected, because you're telling it to access the machine named
xxx.xxx.xxx.xx. Instead, you'll probably want to try this command:
  nmblookup -A xxx.xxx.xx.xx

This will give you a list of the machine names and groups. So, let's
assume the machine is named MACHINE
  smbclient -L MACHINE -I xxx.xxx.xx.xx -U%

  The -I option can be omitted if the machine is on the same subnet. The
- -U% option tells it to use no username or password. Read the manpage for
more info.
