Hello Herb and Jim,

	I checked, and the hosts and lmhosts files did not
contain any old IP information.

	I did go ahead and upgrade one of my machines to
2.2.4, with no change - the host still did not appear in
Network Neighborhood.  I checked with the Windows guys, and
there was no previous machine account on the domain for that
machine.  Before the reIP, it was browsable.

	This seems to point 100% at WINS, but I hope that I'm
not ruffling too many feathers by continuing this thread
here - I think that this is probably the best group to help,
even though it doesn't seem to be a problem exclusively with
Samba.

I very much appreciate the suggestions so far, and thanks in
advance for any further help you folks can give.  :)

Benny
