WINS traffic after hostname change

I am seeing a lot of wins broadcast traffic on my network. The request
is originating on my DC and is a NBNS lookup for a hostname which no
longer exists. The DC is also a DNS server for my domain. Recently I
changed the computer name for this DC and the queries I am seeing are
apparently trying to resolve the previous hotname of the DC.

so host "A" is the dns server/DC. I renamed "A" to "B" and now "B" is
generating NBNS traffic trying to find host "A"

Any ideas?

Yes, it appears that machine is hosting WINS and the NBNS
is defined in your DHCP scope. If so, you have to change the
option (Option 44 NBNS name server) to point towards the
new tcp/ip address.
