I don't suppose we can spoof a disconnect from the old IP?  :-)

Yeah, I guess this problem is a serious pain in the ass.

I'm not the network administrator on campus(though my SAMBA -> Novell print
redirector now handles 90% of the print jobs for the test dorm), so I can't
just make everyone use my WINS server.  Samba has no facilities for
converting broadcast info to WINS entries, as far as I saw.
