Hi Dick, I might have misunderstood earlier: To change your computer's name open the preferences window, then select 'Sharing' You can then highlight the name of your computer and type in a new name. You may lose connectivity from other computers that may be on your network unless you go to them and provide your new name on those computers - I'm too chicken to change my computer's name and then find out...though it should be based on the underlying numerical address... jon Original Message: ----------------- From: Richard M.

I went to the System Preferences/Accounts but find nothing about the computer name. May be this needs to be done from the Terminal?
