[QUOTE="mafocari, post: 1892301, member: 407922"] You first mentioned "machine share in the prompt" (on your Aug 13, 2021 comment)... I said I don't know what you mean by that. So what did you mean by that? The share name of your Mac? My Sharing Computer Name is My MacBook Pro; underneath that it says "Computers on your local network can access your computer at: My-MacBook-Pro-2.local, then an Edit button next to that, like in your screenshot. When I click the Edit button, it says "Use this name to reach this computer from machines on your local subnet." with "Local Hostname: My-MacBook-Pro-2.local" (with the part before .local being editable). So, I can change that there. What doesn't make sense is that it changes my Terminal prompt; why would it use my share name?! I'm not accessing my Terminal through the network, I'm accessing it directly in my user session directly connected to the Mac through my keyboard. Does Windows work like this?! I've never seen this kind of thing before, a router conflict should not change my Terminal prompt, it's silly. [/QUOTE]
