Stop Samba and delete the wins.dat file, then restart Samba. Unless something 
else is wrong that should remove the rogue entry.

Also, there's an odd problem that I think only affects some versions of Win95 
where the primary WINS server is ignored and only the secondary used, so when 
there is only one WINS server it's always a good idea to place its IP address 
into both the primary and secondary WINS server fields.
