I've been getting this error message about a duplicate name existing when I boot up.
I've read the fixes for this, but what I'm wondering is..


Assuming the 'Duplicate Name' is another computer, are we linked in any way other than
by name and network? I want to know if Name2 (the other) is aware of Name1 (me) as far
as keystrokes, passwords, browsing history, etc.? Does the possibility exist for one name
to 'spy' on the other? - I'm on a house wireless network.


Since the error messages have begun, a quirk has arrived with them.. many times I have to
left-click a button a second time and wait 1-2 seconds, whereas before, a single left-click
brought an immediate response. Are we bogging each other down?
