[Samba] After reIP, Samba hosts not browsable.

[Herb Lewis]

If you are set up to use WINS this is definitely your problem.
If possible upgrade your samba systems to 2.2.4. Previous 
versions had a bug where the would not register with the 
WINS server if there was an old registration there - even
if that was no longer being defended.
