I have been having a problem with my laptop on the LAN, a couple of things weren't working right. Airvideo from my laptop SERVER to an ipad, wasn't working. Now, I am having networking conflicts of some sort.
What I checked was, at the ROUTER (regardless of router, different locations o the same thing) the MACBOOK PRO, is communicating a NAME to the network of MY IPAD. Whereas MY IPAD is ALSO connected to the network, is ALSO communicates a NAME to the router as MY IPAD.
Both MAC addresses are different of course and accurate, but the router sees them as the SAME NAME device? Why would this happen? How could it happen and is there a way/place to SEE what the device NAME would be called somewhere on the MACBOOK PRO? Where IS this name stored?
