For some reason my hostname on my mac keeps changing. I first noticed it when I loaded bootcamp with windows XP. I have been bringing my computer to work and log onto their wireless and I start using synergy. This is when I actually notice that the hostname has changed. The reason I think it has something to do with windows or bootcamp is because the name of the windows machine name is what the hostname changes to. I wonder what is going on here?
One reply on “Mac OS X hostname Changing?”
doing a little research i found this website: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6904054#6904054
so the end result was for me to run this line in the terminal: sudo hostname theHostname.domain.com
And if I understood correctly, this will only work only for the current terminal session.
