NMBD errors after upgrading to 10/100

I upgraded 6 PC's to 10/100 and also changed an IP address or 2 in the process. On the ones that had an IP address change, I reflected the new IP in the DNS Zone file.

Since the upgrade I've been getting the following on the nightly output. I've tried enabling WINS and DNS Proxy in smb.conf. I need to fix this before I can put the main software that they use on it.

I don't know if it's related but last week FreeBSD started getting dropped watchdog packets and then losing all com's.
It did this twice and has been OK since.

TIA

I've also trawled around the mailing lists and seen the common replies about Wins client and server battling - here is my testparm output to allay those ideas.

su-2.05a# testparm | grep ins

name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
max wins ttl = 518400
min wins ttl = 21600
