Title:
  Name already exisits  on your network in "Your computer's name" in
  "Who are you" page even when this is random text

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu Natty (development branch)
  Release:	11.04

  
  I decided not to go with the 'default computer name' on the 'Who are you' page when trying an install of Natty.  Any name I now try, even random text, reports "That name already exists on the network" and so I am prevented from moving forward.
