In installing Windows XP on a system, it went through the whole network setting up on it's own and I gave the computer a name for the network. I now want to change that name on the network, but other than some program called "netdom" that a help directory gave me, I have no idea how to rename my computer. It's easy as cake in all other versions of windows (click that identification tab), but I can't figure out how to do it in XP.....a little help? Thanks
