[QUOTE="DRoyLenz, post: 1316294, member: 220192"] I had tried that, but the network wasn't listed in System Preferences. I did find the solution, however, and I thought I'd let you know for future reference. The problem was that I had used my iPhone to connect to the Computer-to-Computer network. I then disconnected my MacBook Pro from the network, but did not disconnect the iPhone from the network. So, even though the original "host" (my MBP) was disconnected, the iPhone was maintaining the network. Once I disconnected my iPhone, the network seems to have disappeared. This is a cautionary tale, next time I do this, I will definitely be securing the network with a password, because if somebody had decided to connect to the network, it would've stayed out there until they disconnected. Thanks for the advice, and I hope this post is able to help somebody else who is stupid enough to make this mistake too. ;P [/QUOTE]
