Contrary? Well I had to ask.  Because it has to work like that for your
SNMs. NP

When I moved the server I changed the server name slightly and so the WINS data points to the old name at the current IP.  In fact with this network rebuild I changed most of my computer names and they are all incorrect.  I think I need to shut down all three instances of samba clear the wins data and then start them all again so that they populate from scratch.

Ok since you say the interdomain networking is functioning (triangle
routing) have a read at this:

all else that fails put that machine on another known working Subnet and
have a go at that.
