I think this means you tried to connect to an IP address and it only
wants to accept a netbios name.  This may have been fixed in a service
pack or have an option that can be changed, but the quick fix would be
to use the host name instead of the IP and if it doesn't resolve in
DNS, add an entry in the /etc/hosts file on the backuppc server for
it.
