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.

Thanks for any help.

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

What worked for me was clearing the DNS cache. Open the command prompt
in administrator mode and type "ipconfig /flushdns".
