Here it says:

Samba servers:
Login to the machine and use the su command to become root. Run the
command /etc/init.d/samba stop, wait a second or two, and then run
/etc/init.d/samba start. This will cause samba to restart and
re-register itself with the WINS servers.

I've already done sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart, many times.
