When I start my newly installed Windows XP Pro there is a Windows System Error message saying there is "Duplicate name exists on the network". How do I fix this?

You need to change the name of the computer on the workgroup. Each computer needs it's own unique name. This document will help you change the name. After you have picked a unique name for that system, reboot and see if you get that message again.
