[Samba] Problem with netbios names

[Marcin Kryczek]

hi,
i've got big problem with samba, which acts as a fileserwer in company i
work for. it's configured to be LMB and DMB and according to logs, it
wins all elections. 
the problem is: i offer vpn access for few employees. one of them works
with advanced excell (mainly) macros, which are linked across samba
shares. he decided to recreate our shares structure on his home computer
to test changes before making them on serwer, which is generally good
idea, but he need also to change his computer name to the netbios name
of our samba (links are configured as \\serwer_name\share\something) to
make it work.
now when this computer connects to VPN samba seems to forget own name.
as i wrote - nmbd wins elections, employee's workstations are configured
to use samba's ip as wins, but they all just keep trying to connect to
.202 even if it's not connected anymore. the problem disapears when i
restart nmbd (i think so)
