Force remapping of Network without a reboot

Hi there

Sometimes if I bring a new Linux server machine up online and take down an old one some Windows machines cannot see the new machine but still list old computers in the Network mapping.

Is there a command to FORCE a rescan of Network computers without REBOOTING the windows machine.

I've waited 15 mins and Network still shows OLD server and not the new one.

(The Linux new server sees ALL the Windows machines once the SAMBA service starts and can access THEIR shares !!).

example -- new server is GYLFI-EXT (has Movies etc streaming data), Old Server GYLFI

Windows only sees OLD server

New Server sees Windows and can access its shares.

Nothing running on the Windows machine currently so I can't see what's stopping it getting the new machine. (I'm trying to stream my movies to it -- works fine when I can SEE the server !!!!).

A (Windows) reboot fixes this stuff but I shouldn't have to do it.

Don't know if you solved this already but.. what worked for me was an admin command prompt running
ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

That would be a router and/or Domain Server issue.
