Shadow_2k Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hello, I've noticed that my OSX86 is showing up as "noname" in my network and the terminal window. The noname part is also shown when I enable File-Sharing (see screenshot) A first try to fix it by setting a HostName with scutil (scutil -set HostName mac2) only "fixed" the name shown in the terminal window but I think this is a dead end. To further investigate the problem I did a little comparison between my iMac and my OSX86 system. scutil --get ComputerName --> gives out the computer name shown under Sharing on both Computers scutil --get LocalHostName --> gives out the .local name that can be set under sharing which is also used as "network name" (afp://my-imac/ for example) on my iMac. My iMac shows the LocalHostName in the terminal window while my OSX86 installation shows noname in terminal and the sharing tab scutil --get HostName --> gives out "not set" on iMac and OSX86. Only affects the terminal noname issue on my OSX86 install. (I reverted it back to "not set" after trying it out) Screenshot: greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
