I've got an Airport Extreme router, hard-wired Mac Mini (OS 10.8), 15" MacBook Pro (10.8), and 13" MacBook Pro (10.6).

The router keeps thinking that there are duplicate names on the network and keeps assigning appended names to my Macs (example: "Mac Mini (4)", "BradMac (2)".

Beyond being way annoying, it's becoming a pain in the ass, as I have to re-log in some items and now Time Machine has started a brand new backup for my MacBook (which takes 3 days), even thought the original is just over a week old.
