proglem when changing name of computer

To create a LAN an home with my XP laptop, I decided to change the name of the machine. But once I changed the name of the machine and made the network worked, the Cygwin installation that I had on my laptop previously stoped working. The xserver doesn't work, and I need to do "kill -9" to stop it. Not only that, but Cygwin itself doesn't respond to the exit command and I need to kill the application in order to close the Cygwin console window. I uninstalled Cygwin, erased the Cygwin directory, and installed Cygwin again (not using "reinstall"), but the problem persisted. I'm afraid I need to change something on XP to make this thing to work, but I don't know what. Please, let me know of a solution diferent from reinstalling XP. Thank you for your help.
