Hello,

How do you change the computer's name in OS X 10.3? I changed mine when I was installing the OS, but my friend didn't do that during the OS installation, so is there a way to do it within the OS?

Thanks,

Ming

Go into Sys. Prefs. and then Sharing, the top part contains an area to set the name of the machine.
