Your WinNT clients must join your Samba controlled domain. Every machine
which should be able to do a domain logon must be a member of this
domain.

I think the best way would be to create new machine accounts in
"smbpasswd". Every NT Workstation must join the domain after that.

Perhaps there is still an invalid record in a LMHOSTS file or an invalid
record in WINS or DNS? Did you have a look at "smb.conf" whether there
is the new IP address defined in the option "interface"?
