Hello,

I've only just tried Boot Camp for the first time. It seemed to go well - but I've noticed that the computer name that was given during the Windows installation seems to have crept across to the Mac OS X side of the computer.

e.g. My machine is called MPB - that's the name set in the Sharing Prefpane, and before installing BootCamp that would be the hostname that appeared at the shell prompt. However, since installing Windows I get the following:

code:

And my sharing prefpane looks like this: (notice the hostnames in the links below the Services list)

Has anyone seen this behaviour before, and know how to fix it? I've tried renaming the computer in Windows, but it didn't seem to do anything.

Hmm - solved it - changing the Computer Name in Windows worked after all, but the change didn't appear to actually get made until I had booted into Windows again.
