    I just installed CentOS on my laptop and when I connected to the network at work, it automatically assigned me a computer name that might already exist on my network. How do I change that or stop it from doing it?

    Your laptop probably got this name from a DHCP server.
    If that is the case, and you don't want it to use DHCP, you can configure your network settings manually.

    How do I disable DHCP and assign a different computer name manually?

    You can configure all your network settings (if you are using Gnome) from
    Applications -> System settings -> Network
    or using this command
    Code:
    /usr/bin/system-config-network
