In the case where the last segment of a track is actually connected to a pad using "exact end point matching" criteria, and the only problem is that the net code for the track is 0, then you have an additional remedy. Look at the menu option "Track Operations". In there is a checkbox called "Connect to Pads". This will update the net code on that last segment from 0 (meaning unconnected) to the net code of the pad, but only if it is truly connected according to pcbnew's (too) strict criterion: the endpoint of the last track segment must exactly match the center point of the pad. You can use any of the track operations to help clean up your board, including the "Connect to Pads" option exclusive of the others, which is what you should try first. Hope this helps.
