I have 6 computers running win 2000 pro and I have them all networked. My problem is that I want to change the Computer name that I gave two of the machines on the initial start up and am unable to figure out how.
Anyone able to help me.
Thanks

I tried doing this but my computer still comes up with the name that I typed in when booting the system up for the very first time, any other Ideas?

I've run into the same problem, the new computer name just refuses stay. It's not that big a deal for me, just would like to get rid of my old @Home user name.
