How do you change the afp path "server" name on a non-server version of OS-X?

I'm talking about the name listed after "afp://" which is shown at System Preferences>Sharing>select "File Sharing" on left, look at text under the words "File Sharing: On" where the text starts with "Other users can access shared folders on this computer... at "afp://xxxxx" where xxxxx is the name I'm referring to. I think this is the "server name" position in the file path. Looking at a couple of other Macs, they seem to normally use the "Computer Name" here, but on my 2008 Mac Pro running 10.6.8, it seems to be stuck with an earlier version of a Net-Bios name I used, and I can't get it to change regardless of what I now do with the computer name or the Net-Bios name.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Try power cycling your router, as it is most likely returning that name when asked to translate the IP address to a name.

  • How do you change the volume used for group folders in Lion Server?

    So I'm slowly acclimating to Lion Server, however, I'm not able to determine how to specify the parent folder for Groups.  By default it's the /Groups root directory on the boot volume however I'm trying to change it to an alternate drive on a separate volume.  I've tried removing the sharepoint from the 'Server' admin utility and adding the alternate Group folder (on a separate volume) but to no avail.
    Has anyone else worked with this?

    Hey,
    Open Workgroup Manager app, from the ServerAdminTools, (link) enter your domain name for your server (FQDN), enter your OpenDirectory administrator user and password, go to Groups > Groups Folder.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can you change the banner of the FTP-server on the Linksys WRT610N ?

    Dear readers,
    My question is this : How can you change the banner of the FTP-server on the Linksys WRT610N ?
    At present it says : "Welcome to WRT610 Router's FTP service" which gives away the type of the device.
    Which is a clue I would rather hide. Besides that I would like to change it to something more personal.
    But how do you do that ?
    The UG is silent about this.
    Regards
    John

  • How can I change the installation path  of JWS?

    I have to install the JRE 1.4.0_01 in silent mode on Windows XP. For the JRE I can set the installation path in the corresponding dialog and record it in an *.iss file. When starting the silent installation the JRE is correctly installed into this path but the Java Webstart installation procedure doesn't care about this path and installs JWS in 'D:\Programme\Java Web Start'.
    How can I change the installation path for JWS?

  • How do you change the background color not of the video clip, but the background the clip is on?

    How do you change the background color upon which the clip resides...
    I don't want to change anything within the clip itself, but the matte(?)
    from black to white or cream.
    I am working with Elements 10...

    Create a color matte of the desired color and place it on video track 1.  Then place your video on track 2.
    from here: Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Creating specialty clips
    Create a colored matte for a background
    You can create a clip consisting of a full‑frame matte of solid color, which you can use as a solid background for titles or animated clips.
    Brightly colored mattes can serve as temporary backgrounds to help you see transparency more clearly while you adjust a key effect.
    Click Project Assets. 
    In the Project Assets panel, click New Item from the panel options and choose Color Matte. 
    Choose a color in the Adobe Color Picker dialog box, and click OK. 
    A color matte clip is placed into both the Project Assets panel and the Expert view timeline.

  • How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4?

    How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4. I am able to access my iTunes account using my new ID and password on my computer; however, my iphone has a different Apple ID and I do not have cannot access iTunes on this phone. 

    Also, if you have iCloud, you will probably also want to change the iCloud account on the phone to be yours:
    Settings>iCloud - if Account is not yours, go to the bottom and Delete Account. Then sign back on with your iCloud account info.

  • How do you change the pink highlight for the present day in calendar when in week view

    How do you change the pink highlight for the present day in calendar when in week view - OSX Maverick

    the current day was light blue in ical in 10.6 but with plenty of contrast, but I recently made the bigger leap all the way to calendar in 10.9. the choice of color is terrible for reasons such as Spile1962 puts below, but also not having any way to tweak it is terrible. I'm on a bran d new imac and can barely see a difference and frankly, while I appreciate the subtlety, I still forget to look for the darker bar across the top of the current week and day. we should be able to adjust weekend and current day bg colors.
    I went into the app's package contents in hopes that they were using a tiff/png file that I could tweak on my own but couldn't find anything for them. all the icons are there, as are the bg sets for all the little pop-ups and things, but I couldn't even find a reference to a hex color in the plist file.
    send apple feedback. I just did myself, except that Calendar hasn't made the list (yet?), only iCal up to version 4.x, and Messages is still only iChat for feedback, and some others are old as well. apparently after steve died, apple's attention to these details just died with him. it's been that long since those other apps should have been relevant on their site.

  • How do you change the color of events on ICal.

    How do you changed the color of events on ICal? I was able to do this when I utilized ICal on the Snow Leopard system but can no longer do this with Lion.
    I know that I can select the Calanders list, but when I create a new "Calander" it doesn't allow me to choose a color and it doesn't show up in my list when working within an event.
    Thanks!

    Phoebe,
    Right-click on the new calendar and select "Get Info."
    Make sure that the ✓ mark is selected.
    Then choose the color from this pane:
