Removing network settings from a laptop

[ozzroo]

Hi

I am trying to connect a latop to the network for a second time. I have already had it connected but it got sent away to be fixed. The problem is the settings on the laptop are configured for a computer name which has been allocated to another machine. How can I remove the settings on the laptop so its not connected to a domain and start again

With the system NOT connected to the network, go to the System Control panel (properties of My Computer) and under Computer Name, first change the domain to a workgroup (workgroup name doesn't matter), then change the computer name. Finally, reboot. Then rejoin it to the domain with a different name.
