I got a Windows 98 computer off of a friend named Wayne
recently.  I took it to work to use as a standby
computer.  How can I change the name of the computer
from "WAYNE" to something else?

When I change the name of the PC and try to connect it does not allow me to.

name back to what it was it works fine. I have Win98SE and WinNT 4.0 Server
as the Domain Controller.
