I have an extra "computer" showing up within my network, and I don't know
how to remove it...

Ok, heres the thing:

I recently had to reinstall Windows ME on this computer. A couple of days
ago I noticed that this computer doesn't show up in the network (y'know: My
Network Places). So I look at some "help" pages, etc. which suggest
changing the computer's 'name', which I did. I changed it from 'PUPIL' to
'PUPIL2'. Then I rebooted or something - I forget - and next time I looked
it still wasn't there. Anyway, today I looked at the network problem again,
and tried running the 'Home Networking Wizard' again (with the standard name
'PUPIL'). Now PUPIL shows up in the network, but PUPIL2 *also* shows up!

I've looked everywhere I can think of, but there doesn't seem to be any way
to remove PUPIL2...

A little help? :P

Ok, never mind! I just checked the network just now and it's fine. PUPIL2
has gone, leaving just PUPIL.
