Sometime after I installed samba and got everything working, one of my
colleagues changed the IP address on the box I did the install on. So
after I got passed all the other issues that plaqued me after moving
over to fedora 11, I discovered that I could not added Win clients to
the domain.
I dug into the log files:

the .21 address was the original address for the box, it was changed to
.22. It looks like the old .21 address is still registered by nmbd as
the server for the LDAP2 domain. Not knowing much about netbios it
would appear this is the reason I can't add a win client to the domain.
How do I remove the reference to the old address, as I assume other
samba servers on the network running WINS are caching this old address.
Correct me if I am on the wrong track.
