Hi Walter,
There won¹t be any problems with this. DHCP just assigns an IP address to a
computer when it requests one. It uses the MAC address to assign it and if
computer name is provided in the requests packet it puts that into the
computer name field. It can also be used with DHCP Client Id
it and if computer name is provided in the requests packet
it puts that into the computer name field. It can also be used with
DHCP Client Id. If the computer has a previous lease then the DHCP
server gives it back the same IP address. If you have a power outage
it loses all settings. The modem
every time.
I will take notice next time if the computer name changes when the
clone is connected, and if it stays changed after disconnecting the
clone.
Something is causing The System to think there is more than one
computer with the same name on the Network.
Ah well, I've got to get back
clone connected when I'm
actually updating the clone.
I do this weekly, so I'm sure it hasn't changed every time.

Hi Severin,
This happens when the system detects two computers with the same name
on the same local network.
You can change the computer name and get rid of (5) in system

My computer is named Sevs G5 and has been for a long time.
Recently, I noticed in Sharing that it is named Sevs G5 (5) and the
accompanying message tells me that other users can connect using Sevs
G5-2.local which proves correct, and Sevs G5 by itself no longer works.
What is going on?
Is there a way to change the computer name?
I reinstalled OSX from the Panther CD, I skipped the registration
page as I had already registered. The only information I had to
provide was my name, short name and password. No place for the
computer name, the default is DIANA-STEVENS-C, which I
All you have to do is open System Preferences and select Sharing. You
can change the computers name from that panel.
All the best
