Windows Explorer error

After having replaced my main hard drive, when I start
up Windows Explorer, I get the following error:

Cannot access \\pentium3-600r\c. The network name is
either not found on the running network, or is incorrect.
Do you want to connect by using Dial-Up Networking
instead?

The problem is that the machine is only on a wireless
network, with no other Windows machines. No machines
have ever had the name pentium3-600r, though it's
similar (but not identical) to the "computer description"
on the Network/Identification control panel. There are
no mapped network drives or anything similar.

So where is this coming from, and how can I eliminate it?

Thanks.
