how to remove a shared computer

A friend came over with his PC laptop and I got him on the LAN to access his PC. Now he's taken his PC away I cannot remove the icon from the shared section in the Finder window. How is this done?

MP 2.8/8 cores, MBP 2.8, 16GB RAM,, Mac OS X (10.6.3), ATI 3850

This worked for me, on macOS Sierra:

1. Restart Bonjour

- Click Launchpad in the Dock, then Other > Terminal

- In the Terminal window, enter the following:

sudo killall -m mDNSResponder

2. Restart Finder

- Hold down ctrl+alt and click the Finder icon in the Dock

- Select "Relaunch" from the drop-down list
