I have an Imac with Yosemite installed with all latest updates. It uses a static IP.
When I open up a Terminal window it appears like this:
IMac\203975092370517331:~ peter$
This is very strange.
When I type in echo $PS1
I get as an result: \h:\W \u\$
So it should display my hostname, working directory and username.
My hostname then should be IMac\203975092370517331
but If i check in the system settings -> Sharing -> Computername there I only have IMac. Also under the Network Settings with my static IP connection in WINS I also got IMac in there.
So my Hostname should be Imac and not Imac\203975092370517331
I don't understand this behaviour? why is it like that.
What can I do against it?
I also checked with the tool Wireshark the network Traffic and from there I can see that my Mac is in the local network as IMac with that wired number.
I really don't understand it
Anybody any clue what s going on?
