[QUOTE="veehb, post: 1410156, member: 126930"] I only have one MacBook Pro. It is networked via coax with network switches between it and the DSL Router and also connects via Wi-Fi through my new Airport Extreme. The AirPort Extreme is plugged into the the network switch. Every few days when I wake it up in the morning after it has been asleep all night I get the message, "This computer's local hostname "xxx-MacBookPro-2.local" is already on this network. The name has been changed to "xxx-MacBookPro-3.local"". I changed it back to "xxx-MacBookPro.local" a few days ago and now it is back to "xxx-MacBookPro-3.local". Is this because I have both a wired Ethernet connection and a wireless connection? I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad 3 in addition to the MacBook Pro all connected via wireless. Does it make any difference that this keeps changing? [/QUOTE]
