Bug Description

To reproduce:

1) Have another computer on the network with e.g. the name 'abcd'.
2) Type 'abcd' as the name in the installer, it correctly warns.
3) Add some letters to get the valid name 'abcdefgh', it still warns.
4) Edit your name, now the warning disappears.

This is with the beta iso testing image 20110831.
