Wrong computer name in Terminal
Not sure if this is an OD question, but that's my best guess.
Where I work we have about 20+ Macs connected on a Windows network. I noticed just recently that my Mac is showing a different computer name on the prompt in Terminal (it's actually the name of another PC on the network.) When I go to preferences and view the computer name in Sharing, it shows the correct name in the computer name field, but down below where it shows you what addresses to use to connect to the computer, it shows the other computer's name in the URLs.
Here's the weird part. If I try to connect to my computer using that other computer's name, the attempt times out. If I use the name I have typed into the computer name field, it works fine.
In other words, everything appears to work just fine but it's displaying the name of another computer (a PC) in some places.
I tried looking at the Active Directory settings in Directory Access. Originally, it listed the other user's computer name there. I changed it after a few failed attempts (it kept inserting the other user's computer name in there.)
I'm not sure where to begin. Any suggestions where I should look to correct this?
