in Network Neighborhood (right click), on the  Identification tab, the
computer (or hostname/dnsname) name merely allows the DHCP server to
recognize you dynamically when you have "Obtain IP address automatically" in
TCP/IP properties (also ensure under Wins Configuration tab that the "Use
DHCP Server for WINS Resolution" is checked)  So put in your hostname and
check those two properties.  DNS should be disabled and Gateway should be
removed if you previously had it setup statically.  After reboot, you can
run the command "winipcfg" from the RUN dialog and confirm the settings have
taken effect for that adapter.  Note that if you are not online (say the
DHCP server is down), then you may wish to disable WINS RESOLUTION, and fill
in those TCP/IP properties and try to connect statically.  Good Luck!
