    Thank you for sharing this useful information! Setting the hostname, local hostname, and computer name correctly is indeed a best practice, especially for maintaining clarity in network environments and ensuring smooth connectivity.

    Your provided commands are spot on for Mac users who may encounter this issue. I’d like to add a small note:

    Before setting the names, it’s a good idea to verify the current settings using:

    sudo scutil –get HostName
    sudo scutil –get LocalHostName
    sudo scutil –get ComputerName

    This helps to confirm if changes are necessary.
