Try to change it again. I've had this problem with one of my XP boxes...
Right click on my computer, properties, ident.
change to your workgroup.
Click ok, and it should ask you to reboot.
I think it took like three tries to get it to keep my settings...
That was b4 I installed SP1 though...
Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.

If you are using XP why do you reboot? Does it say you have to? Its not supposed to have to reboot. I did have a similar problem and to fix it all I had to do was assign all my machines an IP address manualy. Maybe try doing that. Another option would be to, if you dont have anything that you absolutley need on that computer, reinstall XP, get the updates and try again. If reinstalling it doesnt work I dont know what to tell you. As you probably know its kinda hard to explain how to do something if you arent at the computer with the problem... Good luck.

Guys,
bballad:
I have already checked for virus with my antivirus completely updated. Unfortunatelly we can't reinstall the system because we left our CDs in another office in Boston. I'll try the regedit32 option then. Thanks.
VanEck:
Yes, i'm logging in with the administrator, besides it's the only account dreated. As i told the guys before, i have already tried reinstalling the whole package without luck plus the MSN Internet Service is not enabled.
nebulus200:
I have tried both options, using the wizard and through the other way but not luck at all neither.
phishphreek80:
I have tried like 100 times now, haha!!! No, really, i have tried a lot more than 3 times. I have SP1 installed too.
dac0braman:
No, i have done it connected and disconnected to just in case.
XoN-ASSIM:
Yes, it always ask me to reboot. I think i will reinstall everything. Thanks.
I think i'm running out of options and should get the CDs to reinstall the system. Thanks again anyways, bye,

If it is bombing in both places, you might want to have a look at www.regedit.com and see if there are any registry settings you can monkey with to force a change, otherwise have to apologize for not being any help :/
Good luck on finding a resolution.

Our only hope, our only peace is to understand it, to understand the 'why'. 'Why' is what separates us from them, you from me. 'Why' is the only real social power, without it you are powerless.

My 2 cents worth. Are you an ADMINISTRATOR of the XP box ?
Try logging as ADMINISTRATOR......then change the name.
