In the network settings, I changed my IP twice and then changed my Computer's name. No big deal. So now when I access my server along with about 20 other people, it shows my old IPs and computer name along with my current settings. So I have two ghost computers on my network as if they still exist, and I obviously can't connect to it. I basically want my latest entitie for my computer to show only along with my IP and have the old stuff permanantely taken off.

Why would it do this, and how can I rid of this.
 
The switch you are having must still have the old ethernet address attached to the ports. You could either restart the switch, off it and turn it on in a one minute. or you could manually delete the arp address from the computers
 
in
edit this file to be who you want
sudo
[type your password]
pico /private/var/slp.regfile

remove any unwanted entries.
ctrl-x exits and prompts you to save.

this occurs with bronze powerbook
getting registered on the network by DHCP
we had several entries and only one was the right one.

you may want to stop appletalk before doing the above

then restart appletalk.
 
Actually you'll want to type it this way:

sudo pico /private/var/slp.regfile

...and this works just as well:

sudo rm /private/var/slp.regfile
