You may need to change the netbios tag within smb.conf as well, possibly if system-config-samba is installed. I'm not sure, however, if the Samba Server GUI has anything to do with this but changes in smb.conf was necessary in my case.

sudo leafpad /etc/samba/smb.conf

netbios name = newhostname

Something completly different for Your info. You may be interested to know that Chrome's Avira Browser Plugin extension, from the Chrome Webshop link below, will block Linux-Lite pages in Google Search Engine with the following message:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/avira-browser-safety/flliilndjeohchalpbbcdekjklbdgfkk?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon

Avira prevents you from opening a potentially harmful website.
Warning! This site might harm your system. It was blocked for your protection.

You may want to inform Avira to avoid that?

Thank You
