Hey everybody. I have this problem at work that I cannot figure out
at all. I have this computer running Windows 2000. Every time I try
to give the computer a name and log in under the local administrator
account, I get a Windows System Error that says "A duplicate name
exists on the network". I have restaged the computer 2 times already
and this message keeps popping up no matter what computer name or
workgroup name I give it. I tried deleting and reinstalling TCP/IP as
well. Nothing seems to work. I am able to ping the DNS server. So
it isn’t DNS. It acts as if no matter how much I am telling it that
the computer name has changed, it must still be seeing the first name
that I put in. Urgh! Has anybody run into this problem before? If
so, how do I fix it? I have never run across this problem before and
neither has anybody else in the company. I’d appreciate any
suggestions you can give me. Thanks!
