I have also this problem, but I've found a workaround. I suppose You are
trying to mount directly from /etc/fstab. That does not work for me, either,
but it is possible to execute the mount_smbfs including the parameter '-I
<hostname>' at boot time (e.g. in rc.local) or manually. Keep Your nsmb.conf
like it is. You will need the password specified there, of course.

-I host
Do not use NetBIOS name resolver and connect directly to host,
which can be either a valid DNS name or an IP address.
If You find a way how to specify the '-I' option for /etc/fstab, tell me
please. (Perhaps I am doing something wrong, too. I don't know.)
