network setup

I have network setup but some of the items need changing--I think. I have a Linsky BEFSR 41 router and a Win 98 and WinXP. When I click on My Computer and go to network drives I get two different names. The XP is called "dutch" and the 98 is "Geronimo. " Now both of themare "Dutch", Should both names be the same and if not how do I change them.

They shouldnt be the same.

W98--> right click "network neighborhood" click "properties" then click "identification"

XP--> right click "my computer" click on "computer name" etc

Thanks for the reply guys. When I go to each machine the proper names are OK along with the workgroup. When I click My Computer on the xp under Network Drives it still says the same name for both. I guess it doesn't make any difference as long as both of them have the same identification.
