Information about PCs using smb/nmb is stored for quite a while and can
differ from what it's real if you changed setup. Be just patient,
information will synchronize after a while.

If you are unsure about your setup check /etc/samba/smb.conf - it's a
plain text file - and consult the very verbose samba documentation on
www.samba.org.

There is too the command line tool "smbclient" with which you can check
your smb environment.
