237.0. "computername changed, old name still in browser, how to remove?" by TOHOPE::WSA028::DOWNING_L () Wed Apr 02 1997 19:58

I have a customer with ManageWORKS Workgroup Administrator on his Windows 95 
machine.  The PC's computername had originally been FRED1, but that was changed
to MIS1.

When he browses his LAN Manager Domains and looks into his workgroup, he sees
both the name MIS1 and FRED1.


	How can he remove FRED1?
	When he highlights it and goes to 'Edit Viewer', the 'Remove' option
        is gray'd-out.

	This IS the TCP host name, isn't it? Not the 'Computername', right?
