samba - Nov 2004 - WINS setup / browsing

I just  successfully upgraded a server from v 2.2.8 to v3.0.7. When I 
execute smbstatus or swat it correctly shows v 3.0.7. When I browse thru 
network neighborhood it still shows v 2.2.8. I stopped samba, and removed 
/usr/local/samba/var/locks/browse.dat & wins.dat. Then restarted samba. It 
still reports v2.2.8 thru network neighborhood. In viewing browse.dat it 
shows 2.2.8. Where is this coming from & how do I correct it?

Thanks
Tom

It's windows problem. My samba running on 3.0.6 but in network neighborhood
it's still show's old server string
"mntntfs on Samba PDC 3.0.2rc2 (Toltec)"
go to regedit
\\HCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComputerDescriptions
and your hart will tell you what to do :)

I removed all the entries from 
\\HCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComputerDescriptions, 
and rebooted the PC. Using network neighborhood, v2.2.8 is still showing as 
the description. However, now in Windows Explorer it shows v3.0.7 for those 
shares mounted from the samba server.

I also checked /usr/local/samba/var/locks/browse.dat after removing the 
descriptions on the local PC. How is the v2.2.8 getting back in the 
browse.dat file?
