OK, it's working now. What I did:
- uninstall dropbox
- renamed two hidden folders in /home/username/ .dropbox and .dropbox-dist to x.dropbox and x.dropbox-dist
- reinstall dropbox
- log out of dropbox account
- start dropbox
- the program prompted for my credentials and set up a link to my dropbox account.
It must have been an old link to this computer when it had Win7 on it (last week) with the same computer name that caused the mix up in the first place.
Thanks to Scott and altman et al for your patience and guidance,
Lorne.
