Workgroup Computers

[Ryan]

Hey All,

Today I was messing around with some network settings and
changed the name of a computer on my home network twice.

Everything still works fine, but when I look at the
workgroup computers in My Network Places, it shows the
new workgroupname as well as the old name I gave the
computer.

If I click on the old computer a message says the
computer can't be found. The problem is I can't get rid
of the previous computer; can't open it, can't delete it.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this (make it so the old
computer name doesn't appear at all)?

Thanks,

Ryan.

Give it some time. It will go away all by itself.
