Dear,
My SharePoint farm is recently renamed.
Since then I can not start the Distributed Cache service.
I was be able to restart the AppFabric Caching Service, I used Remove-CacheCluster.
The host is still pointing to the old name. If I use the AppFabric Administration 1.1.0 Tool. I see in the hosts list the host with the old server name.
When I try to start the service through Central Administration, I get the error CacheHostInfo is null.
When I try "Use-CacheCluster", I get "ErrorCode<ERRCAdmin040>:Substatus<ES0001>: Failed to connect to hosts in the cluster.
I already tried this:

http://rakasatria.wordpress.com/2013/02/04/sharepoint-2013-spdistributedcacheserviceinstance-cachehostinfo-is-null/
I already tried Add-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance, Unregister-CacheHost and all other possible commands.
I'm getting a bit desperate. How can I get the right host name. Everything works good, except of the Distributed Cache Service. My SharePoint Site is really slow now.
Thank you for your help.
Kind Regards,
Edit:
I just saw the AppFabric Caching Service going to Disabled in the Services. I have two items in "Review Problems and solutions": "One of the cache hosts in the cluster is down" and "This Distributed Cache host may cause cache reliability problems."
