Is it in the HOSTS file ?
The computer name is known to windows and some of the ASP stuff, but
probably not the TCP/IP section, as Microsoft do not bother to populate
that.
Someone will correct me, but I think HOSTS is still in
\<windir>\System32\Drivers\etc in XP, and you will find a line for
localhost, and probably not one for your machine.
Just follow the style of the localhost line with your real IP address.
