It does NOT show in DNS/DHCP console as the incorrect spelling, because I changed it there.

Cliff,
Interesting problem! We can think of two things to check:

• 1) Is the host name spelled correctly in sys:/etc/hosts file? If it is not, edit, and reboot the server.
• 2) If that is not the problem, then search (either with "grep", or in Windows, map a drive and right cliick in Windows Explorer and search) all files in the SYS volume looking for the incorrect name.

If this doesn't help, we recommend you contact Novell Technical Support.
