Samba or Ubuntu problem? netbios name not saving in smb.conf

So when I edit my smb.conf.master file and add "netbios name = server2" to the global section, and then run testparm -s smb.conf.master > smb.conf as root. this is what the global section of my "new" smb.conf file looks like after cat smb.conf:
netbios name = server2 does not show up!!!!??? I'm thinking samba doesn't like karmic.. Further more my other Karmic boxes on the same subnet can't browse samba shares, while the windows and mac boxes can.. HA... and yes my Karmic box smb.conf WINS server is pointing at server2.

Anyone have any idea??
