Network name in small network

We have 3 PCs in our small network; each PC connected to
Internet via LAN, each PC have own local(internal)IP
address. (Internet connection comes from ISP router(that
have dynamic IP addresses), we get Internet from hub which
are connected to this router). OS type: 2 PC have Windows
XP, one PC have Win-98SE. Question: I tried change my Win-
98 PC network name, I have changed it, then restart PC,
but then I found that 4 PCs names appears in our network:
at the same time with my new PC name my old PC name
remained without change in Network Neighborhood. I tried
delete it, but get message : "The server \\myname could
not be found on the network" How to remove old PC name
from network?

The old names will automatically go away after a while. There's no
way to explicitly delete them.
