Try shutting down Samba, deleting wins.dat (May be in either /var/cache/samba/ or /var/lib/samba/ ) then starting Samba up again. Your WINS file will be rebuilt as the clients re-register their addresses. How to actually get it to change on the fly, however, is anybody's guess, as it will re-write the file as-is if you delete / change it while SAMBA is running.
It was suggested that it may be a corrupted file, so just deleting it and letting it be re-built may fix the problem, too.

Our domain controller is running Samba 2.2.8a on Solaris 8. We have XP laptops. We swap between a builtin network card, docking port and wireless card. All of these have separate IP addresses. If I say, boot up with the wireless card, then remove it and use the builtin network card, the IP address in wins.dat on the server doesn't change. It still has the IP address of the wireless card. It means you can't browse this machine. Our backup software (BackupPC) also stops working. Should wins.dat not get updated when a machine changes IP address?
