Hi Guys,

This is really bugging me. Previously when i was on my 2010 MBA Snow Leopard, i had the same thing, everytime i start terminal, my hostname will be come acacad2c.

Now that i bought the new MBA 2011 Lion, i tought id start fresh and not have that problem anymore, it seems that even on this new MBA, on a fresh LION OS, the acacad2c still comes.

Then i tried starting my webserver under System Preferences -> Sharing -> Web Sharing

The same random AOL hostname came up. This is weird, i never configured anything in regards to AOL, im from Malaysia and i dont use AOL ever. I did not know what caused this. Now the welcome page for the webserver ~arsyan/ doesnt work anymore. Ping the url it come out as 172.172.173.44 which is routed in the USA ip address.

What is going on? I had gas mask installed, skype, photoshop, dropbox, xcode. Does any of these has anythign to do with this? I need to find a way to get rid of this. Help please.
 
Im not connected to any router, im just using a dongle that has 3g connection. The thing is that i cat get rid of that hostname, i dont know where its stored. I already checked the hosts file etc. where ever, no sign of it.

I suspect is the App Gas Mask thats causing it. Anybody have similar problem running Gas Mask?
