On the client you can try this..at the command prompt type ipconfig
/flushdns and press enter, when that is finished, type ipconfig /registerdns
this will return a message that the event viewer will record 'something' in
15 minutes (I can't remember the exact message) If that doesn't fix it, then
you will have to get your system administrator to check the forward and
reverse lookup zones in your dns server and correct them to reflect the new
computer name.

By curiosity, how did you do that?
Now I'm unable to connect any VNC viewer to this Lenovo setup as VNC
server
using the computer name
The IP address works just fine.
I've tried server name along with the domain and it just doesn't connect.
Does anyone know how to reset VNC's naming?
VNC doesn't depend on its name to work. The name is only necessary
for
your DNS to resolve it. You've got to see by what name your PC is
recorded
in the DNS. From your VNC client PC, do a ping to server PC using the
name. This should have no reply. But if you ping the IP address, you
should have reply.
I've tried uninstall, reboot, and re-install. That didn't work.
