[Samba] WINS registration refused with multiple network adapters

We have Samba 3.0.23c-4 running as a WINS server. The WINS server is not
getting updated properly with our computers that switch between wireless and
wired connectivity. This only happens if both are enabled at the same
time, however only one is connected or being used at once. If we disable
the one not being used in the Windows XP network control panel, then it
works fine.
For example, if we log in for the first time with wireless, WINS gets
updated with the wireless ip. Now, if we disconnect from the wireless
network, without disabling our wireless NIC (as most of our users do), and
plugin our wired NIC and reboot, the wired ip does not get updated on the
WINS server. It still shows the wireless ip.
Any thoughts other than stopping Samba, deleting or editing the
wins.datfile, and starting Samba ?
Thanks
Below is some info from ethereal after doing an nbtstat -RR on the XP
machine with the wireless disconnected and the wired connected.
No. Time Source Destination Protocol
