OS X Leopard Tip: Changing the Computer Name
I’ve had some inquires about how to rename a computer in OS X 10.5 (Leopard), so here are some quick instructions.
Like most (but not all) system settings, the name of the computer is changed in the System Preferences application. This is available from the <root>/Applications folder and also, more easily, off the Apple menu.
From there select the Sharing pane located in the Internet & NetWork row.
In Sharing, the name of the computer is set at the top.
Screenshots are available after the jump.
