I didn't say it was the network name; I understand that in this case the
main purpose for naming the computer is to identify it to other
computers on the network ('Other computers on your local subnet can
access your computer at Quicksilver.local' is what it says on this
computer underneath the text box you mentioned).
But the fellow with the 'John Doe' issue needs to be using 'Accounts' to
deal with his problem, doesn't he?... my 'home' name 'billchapman', not
Quicksilver... I think that's what he has an issue with... the 'Finder'
panel
