Sounds like you have two servers/clients that are named the same… I know that sounds like the obvious answer, but it’s the only reason I can think that would happen aside from what buddyfarr’s already stated.

Check the event log, it will tell you the IP address of the computer with the conflict. If there is no computer on the network with the same name, check DNS and WINS for possible stale records for a computer that once had the same name and delete any records once you confirm that the server does not exist.

I know we don’t like discussing this, and we probably all forget about WINS, but it’s still here. Check for conflicts there as well.
