Are there any negative effects from changing a computer name in a peer-to-peer
network? A computer on the small network is named "Server". "Computer1" has a
spare drive. If I take "Server" off-line, rename "Computer1" to "Server", share
folders on the new "Server" the same as they were on the old "Server", shouldn't
the other computers on the network think that the old "Server" is still in place?
My concern is whether there are any security issues connected with changing the
name of "Computer1" to "Server". I think not.
