[Samba] problem with cached netbios name of wins server

fc2, samba 3.0.9

The samba server is PDC.
Temporarily, the server was dhcp, which gave it the IP
192.168.1.64

we then set it to static 192.168.1.150, which is what
we want.

however, the different windows clients, on and off, on
ping and such, resolve INTRANET, the netbios name of
the pdc, to 192.168.1.64 still, despite me removing
wins.dat.

I even tried the following suggestion, to no avail

"add 'name resolve order = hosts bcast' to your
smb.conf (without the tick marks ') and add
'192.168.1.150    Netbiosname' to your /etc/hosts
(where netbiosname is what you have in your smb.conf
file and again no ' marks)"

where is 192.168.1.64 being stored, and how do i get
rid of it so INTRANET Is correctly resolved, always,
to 192.168.1.150?

the router tells all the windows clients, which are
using dhcp, to use 192.168.1.150 for wins.
