My Hostname and Computer Name are the same, but I still got a notice that they aren't

Take a second look, are they exactly the same? 'Bobs_computer' and 'Bobscomputer' are not matching names. The Network Hostname cannot have apostrophes (') or underscores (_) and frequently that is the difference.
