I have a problem with a change of IP address. My freebsd machine
required a change of IP address to a different class C network. I
changed the entry in rc.local for the router and host. I rebooted and
everything seemed OK. However I use samba and samba keeps thinking I
have the previous IP. I determined this using smbclient. I then used
nslookup and discovered the DNS has my hostname registered with the old
IP. I will address this problem tomorrow.

 I have 2 questions:
1. Am I doing this change of IP correctly?
2. I assume Samba uses DNS for determining IP address. Is it possible to
circumvent this to tell samba what IP address to use in communication
with clients? (I want it to use my new IP address NOT the old one)
