I've exported my Contacts to a PST file and imported them onto a new
computer. However, now on the new computer, the distribution list is not
able to locate the names of the members. What did I, or didn't I do?

DL's are among a lot of other data you lose when you export. Exporting is
never the correct way to transfer Outlook data. Next time copy the data you
want to transfer into a PST file and then open that PST file in the other
installation.
