Hmmm, in answer to the original question.  Check your wins.dat file. I have
seen a situation where someone changed the addresses in use, but the old
info stayed around in wins.dat, and even though Samba was restarted, it 
read that file back it seemed. What we had to do was to shut down Samba,
delete WINS.dat, and restart Samba. All worked after that.
