Sorry for the delay -- I have been away a lot.

No, not unless you monitored them with a custom
process or network filter (write an entire new program)
-- and run it on every WINS or broadcast domain -- since
the NetBIOS name registration can happen on either a
broadcast basis or at each WINS server.

(FYI for the merely curious: I have written NetBIOS API
code starting with DOS 3.x., but nothing recently.)
