More detail please. You say:
-bios name: you speak about BIOS (basic imput output system)? If your PC have the option to set in BIOS the owner, this don't affect the network name of the PC.
-ip nxip: you speak about IP adress? Use ping to check your IP asigned to PC's
-what is your network enviroment? OS,servers,etc.
