Win XP home network problem --- how to delete old one

J

Problem, set up network called HOMEPCNET1 with two PCs networked.
Called first PC , PCgray and the other one PCblack.

I reinstalled WINXP on the first one and setup another *new* network
called HOMEPCNET2 with PC1 and PC2 as the names.

The newly setup WIN XP PC shows everything properly as HOMEPCNET2 and
PC1 and PC2. However the old 2nd PC , I set up the new name HOMEPCNET2
PC1 and PC2 and it shows both the new one and old one..

The problem is , it was wiped out on the first PC so it cant detect
the old network setup, so it sort of hangs. I would like to delete
the old network. How???? When I just deleted the PCgray it started to
delete the files on the PC !!

Try Control Panel -> "Network and Internet Connections" -> "Set up or
change your home office or small office Network"
