[QUOTE="mafocari, post: 1892320, member: 407922"] Right, I already understood that. I don't think this addresses the fact that a router conflict shouldn't change my command prompt name; the idea seems silly. I'm fine if your opinion is that it should (and no point in saying again [I]that[/I] it will or [I]how[/I] it will). Windows' CLI prompt name doesn't change if the computer has a router IP conflict (like one of mine did recently), so I disagree that it should change Mac's CLI prompt name. Maybe the way macOS is designed makes that unstoppable, but if so, then I disagree with Apple's design decision here, I consider it disruptive and I'll bet a security risk. [/QUOTE]
