I have (had?) two computers with similar names on my wireless network. The home is using XP & this one is the Vista Home premium which I renamed. How do I remove the old name from the network? Since having the old name still there doesn't solve the problem.

Hi If there are icons and links that can be removed, delete them. Unmap every drive that uses a wrong computer name. If any thing stays, be patient it would disappear after few days, and few reboots.

Jack, I have a similiar problem, two vista home premium laptops and one xp sp2 desktop. I didn't like the names of the two vista pc's and have since changed their names. I now have icons under the networking folder (in Vista) for both the old and new name. I have no mapped drives and it has been more than a few days and reboots. Where are the "references" stored so that I may delete them manually and explicitly -- kevin...
