I've got a popup about there being two computer with the same name on the network.
The OS then change the name to (2), (3), etc.
I know for sure that there's not two computer with the same name on the network.
What can I do?
MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014), macOS High Sierra (10.13.1)
I have checked, there's no other computers with this name.
Also, this is not a cloned computer.
You can try this command:
sudo scutil -set ComputerName "newname"
sudo scutil -set LocalHostName "newname"
sudo scutil -set HostName "newname"
That doesn't make sense.
In that case I would get an ip address conflict.
In this case I get a name conflict.
XXX:~ XXX$ sudo scutil -set ComputerName "XXX"
scutil: invalid option -- s
I've done that multiple times but the OS keeps changing it back.
It's currently "XXX (3)"
I'm no up to "XXX (7)"
Any ideas?
I'm not sure what you are saying.
I have a router which acts as an AP.
Of course I have different subnets on ech side of the router. One side is WAN and other LAN.
Like I wrote before I have an router which acts as AP.
No, it's a MBA so I only have wifi.
No, I don't have any AirPort och Time Capsule.
I mean like this:
| xxx.local | 9c:XXX UHLI | lo0 |
| xxx.local | ea:XXX UHLI | lo0 |
Only one is connected.
Router - wifi > 2-3 computers and a 2-4 phones
- wired > switch - wired > NAS and PS4
No, it's the same box.
As an AP
macOS keeps changing computer name
