If you set it up according to the guide you should be able to do

sudo vim /etc/hostname

and change your computers name.

Reboot to take affect.

Hopefully it didn't take the OP almost 12 years to solve this problem

Indeed. l401 please pay attention to the age of topics and refrain from necrobumping.
