[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1605330, member: 46727"] Are you referring to your "user name" (the name you log on with)? If you are, changing that name without doing it correctly could render your computer inoperable. If by "host name" you're referring to the name you log on to your router for internet access, that's much easier to change. Please clarify for us. Also, please tell us which Mac you have (year and model) and what version of OS X it's running. And Welcome to the Mac Forums. [/QUOTE]
