There are probably some reserved words you should not name the
computer... seems like userid's and groupid's could do this sort of
a thing. Been a long time, though, since I delt with computers with
 names like "accounting" and then someone goes and makes a group of
the same name.

That's what makes this so strange. I started with a full working system of:

Warp 4 + Fixpak 15 + DDpak 2 with other upgrades in the WR084xx
series, IP085xx series and UN980...

I followed Al Savage's upgrade route.  (IIRC from memory: WR08610
then WR08621 then Un980 again (and the TCPOEX fix), then TCPIP4.1
then UN2001 and the two numbered APAR fixes... maybe UN980 was
re-installed some else in the sequence..maybe even more than once...
There were a lot of re-boots!)

Throughout this, I did not start the server. I did start the
requester in order to check the connectivity. But at no time did I
change any users, groups or names. Only somewhere near or at the end,
did I start getting the duplicate name error.....

And there are only a limited number of user id's and none of them are
 duplicates. Presently consist only of: geoff, newbury, tp600e,
linus, tor2 and tor3 (latter 3 are desktop systems...and I have
stripped them out of c:\mptn\etc\hosts  at least temporarily..

Thoroughly weird as this error comes up when the system is standalone!...But there are no dups in net.acc, so where/what could
it be.

Go back and check your notes. The update path to 32-bits is Wr8610 and
delete tcpcoex.exe. Reboot. Install un0980. Reboot. Install wr8621 and the new tcpcoex.exe. Reboot. Failure to delete tcpcoex.exe before the first reboot will cause part of the first install to be deleted, which then will not be present to be updated by the last install.

Afterwards, you'll need to do the Peer updates and then run the Peer install/configure program, to make it happy with the new code. If you don't run (install) the updates for Peer, the configure program will remove part of the MPTN updates (you'll know that this is happening when it asks for the Warp 4 cd).
