i might be missing something else, but sometimes windows dosnt update the netbios names of other hosts on the network for a while. at one time i had my mailserver aliased as pop.farragutmarine and smtp.farragutmarine to make it simpler for my family to set up their email with their email client, they would always go, "wait, why the same name in BOTH fields?" so i just added that, but, i took it away and kept it as just farragutmarine, however, when i went into network neighborhood the smtp. and pop. stayed for a week after. try refreshing networkN when your looking at it, also right click on its icon and view the properties. this might be the cause of your problem, but i might also be missing something. as far as i know, to change the name that windows sees is the netbios name in smb.conf, so please post back, also check out the samba website, maybe they have more info about this. anyway, hope i helped!

NAME
ntdbdump - tool for printing the contents of an NTDB file SYNOPSIS
ntdbdump [-k keyname] [-e] [-h] {filename} DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(1) suite. ntdbdump is a very simple utility that 'dumps' the contents of a NTDB (New Trivial DataBase) file to standard output in a human-readable format. This tool can be used when debugging problems with NTDB files. It is intended for those who are somewhat familiar with Samba internals. OPTIONS
-h Get help information. -k keyname The -k option restricts dumping to a single key, if found. SEE ALSO
tdbdump(8), ntdbtool(8) VERSION
This man page is correct for version 4 of the Samba suite. AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed. The ntdbdump man page was written by Rusty Russell, base on the tdbdump man page by Jelmer Vernooij. Samba 4.1 06/17/2014 NTDBDUMP(8)
