Odd Server Connect Screen

[vidiot1701]

Is this happening to anyone else? When I go the Server Connect screen, it lists my own computer (File sharing is off) multiple times (all different IP address I have had over the last couple of months). And about a month ago, I changed my computer name, even it is listed.

This is happening on multiple Macs, all running 10.1.3, even on different networks.

Suggestions?

Never mind, I got it figured out. I got this response on another board:
********************
/var/slp.regfile

this is the ofending file. feel free to delete it as root if you like, it will just be recreated. It is caused when your system gets new IP address from a DHCP server... Your system will still keep the old address in hopes it will be usable later..

In some ways this is a feature, in others it is a bug.

If you are on a network that has a short lease time for its DHCP (lets say 1 hour), than if you system is away from that network for more than an hour, you will probably get a new IP address, as the DHCP server may have already given your old IP to someone else.

Each time your system gets a new IP, it adds a record for that IP to the SLP file.
