Network Neighborhood Shows Wrong Computers

I renamed my computer and now it shows up in network
neightborhood on my entire network TWICE. Once as the
correct name and once as the wrong name. You cannot
expand or link to the wrong one, but you cannot make it go
away either. It is visible like this on all computers on
my network.

What should I do?

Just wait. The old name will automatically go away after a while, as
Windows updates its list of network computers, and there's nothing you
can do to delete it sooner.
