Netbios broadcast Problem with samba on dual-homed machine

[Mark Thomasson]

I am not sure this is the place to post this., but I recently changed the IP address of my PDC and changed the corresponding entries in my smb.conf file on my Linux Redhat 5.2 server. For whatever reason , the machine is constantly broadcasting UDP requests out  to the old address of my PDC . 

Here is a sample

udp  00:18.42 minerva.ca.scad.edu  10.7.4.5             62174 (62175) -> netbios-ns
udp  00:18.42 minerva.ca.scad.edu  10.7.4.5             62173 (62174) -> netbios-ns
udp  00:18.42 minerva.ca.scad.edu  10.7.4.5             62173 (62174) -> netbios-ns
udp  00:18.42 minerva.ca.scad.edu  10.7.4.5             62171 (62172) -> netbios-ns
udp  00:07.02 minerva.ca.scad.edu  10.7.4.5             62146 (62147) -> netbios-ns
udp  00:07.02 minerva.ca.scad.edu  10.7.4.5             62145 (62146) -> netbios-ns
udp  00:07.02 minerva.ca.scad.edu  10.7.4.5             62144 (62145) -> netbios-ns
udp  00:07.02 minerva.ca.scad.edu  10.7.4.5             62143 (62144) -> netbios-ns
udp  00:07.03 minerva.ca.scad.edu  10.7.4.5             62150 (62151) -> netbios-ns

10.7.4.5 is the old internal address of my PDC and WINS server. I have uninstalled Samba and reloaded 2.04 on my box with no appreciable results. 

It appears that regardless of how many times I install or uninstall Samba it continually looks for the "OLD" IP address of the WINS server /PDC.

I've also checked and there are no entries in the Samba servers lmhost file with this old IP address. 

What could be causing this?
