[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1891459, member: 396914"] Not sure what you mean by that. But here is my Terminal prompt: [ATTACH type="full"]34675[/ATTACH] I blotted out my login name, but the "@MBP15" is the share name of my Mac as it appears in the System Preferences/Sharing pane: [ATTACH type="full"]34676[/ATTACH] As it says, that is the network name. You add ".local" to access my Mac from my network, so MBP15.local is the address. If there is a network conflict perceived by the router, the network name will become "MBP15-2" and the network address will be "MBP15-2.local." I suspect my Terminal prompt will then pick up the MBP15-2 as well. When I reboot, I suspect it will go back to my assigned MBP15 unless it sees the same conflict again. [/QUOTE]
