OT: How to get IP address via Samba name?

[Kent West <westk@acu.edu>]

I've got Samba set up to use our local WINS service, and I used to be 
able to use a command like "smbclient -L somePC" to see the shares 
available on "somePC", and to see the IP address of that computer. In 
this method I'd know the IP address to use when connecting via VNC or 
something similar.

However, apparently the most recent smbclient in Sid no longer shows the 
IP address. How can I determine the IP address of "somePC" ("smbclient 
-L" still finds the PC; it just doesn't report the IP address anymore).

Thanks!
