| Rebuilding Simple Home Network - Changing Computer & User Names Greetings: I'm rebuilding our home network from scratch. Desktop wired to Linksys router, laptop connecting wirelessly. Would like to change the Computer _and_ User names to something more meaningful. Wouldn't this be the best time to do it - _before_ setting up the network again? Or will this screw up something I'm not aware of? (Already know where/how to change the computer and user names, but not WHEN or IF I should. Thanks in advance! :-) Cheryl      |
