Every time my mac goes to sleep OSX renames my local host name, it keeps adding a number after it. It will be Mac-Pro. Then it will name it Mac-Pro 2, then Mac-Pro 3, etc.

I only have a Mac Pro, Macbook and an Apple TV. All of them are named that way. I'm not sure why this keeps happening, it was working fine for weeks. I just hooked up my Apple TV about a week ago, the problem occurred about 3 days ago. Maybe thats just a coincidence, not sure.

Anyone know how to fix this? I can even completely rename the Mac Pro, and it still happens. It only happens on the Mac Pro.

I've used Onyx to clear out pref files and such, and also repaired permissions to no avail. Help Please!
