I was testing the new VS2005 version of my company intranet web site yesterday thinking everything was peaches and cream until I hit my old friend
"Cannot Start Debugging. Duplicate Name exists on the network. Go to System in Control Panel and change the computer name and try again."
I mean, you can tell from the error message that this is some majorly embarrassing bug all the way around.
And I forgot how I fixed it about 10 months ago and there's still no official fix from what I've found. So I'll use my blog to remind me of the fix for search keyword "duplicate name."
Add an entry of the site in the server hosts file. Lame, I know, but it gets you there.

Now back to the peaches and cream...
