is there a way to spoof a computer name on a wifi network? there is a lot of tools for mac adresses but none for this.
I know i could change it by rebooting but I don't want to have to reboot.
Thanks.

Ultimately the answer is no.
The way computer names function on a network they are registered with the next in line DNS server (usually a router). Not to mention you'll most likely not be able to even get the OS to change to the same name as when you go to change your computer name your OS will surely throw some NetBIOS error that the name is already in use.
So spoofing a computer name itself is not technically feasible. When you change the computer name of the machine you're on (for whatever reason) the DNS server that the network is talking to is going to continue to serve information to the original computer because the computer you're on was not able to register as that computer name. If you're looking into some higher level of IT tomfoolery then look into "wifi man in the middle" tools.
