Duplicate name exists on the network - Server 2003

We recently decommissioned a Server 2008 fileserver (chfileserv01) and replaced with a Server 2008 fileserver (chnas01) running MS Storage Server.  We added a CNAME alias to point chfileserv01 to chnas01.  From any XP or Server 2003 machine, it will not recognize by name.  From a Win7/Server 2008 machine its fine.  If I ping chfileserv01 it resolves to chnas01 but if I try to browse somewhere such \\chfilserv01\shared (that should bring up \\chnas01\shared) it throws the duplicate name exists on the network error.  All research I have done has said this is not a DNS issue but a WINS issue.  We do not run WINS.  I have tried registry additions and SPN additions on one of the affected machines but its still happening.  This is happening across our domains.  I can't find anything in the event viewer on one of the affected machines.  chfileserv01 was a VM and is now shut down.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
